Abstract: The use of ground-based clear-air Doppler radars to observe the structure of elevated atmospheric layers and associated flux quantities is described. Case studies in which radar and balloon data were available are analyzed. ...

Abstract: A new radar technique for measuring winds in the lower atmosphere is discussed. It is an extension of the well-known FM-CW technique and has the same advantages of relatively low cost and high flexibility for a clear-air ...

Abstract: Three in-situ and five remote sensing techniques for measuring the height of the daytime convective boundary layer were compared. There was, as a rule, good agreement between the different systems when the capping inversion ...

Abstract: The first wind profiler for a demonstration network of wind profilers recently passed the milestone of 300 h of continuous operation. The horizontal wind component measurements taken during that period are compared with ...
