Representativeness of Single Vertical Wind Profiles for Determining Volume Flux in Valleys
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind data collected by a Doppler lidar in a deep mountain valley are used to determine the representativeness of single vertical profiles for approximating the volume flux. A method is described that interpolates these ...
High Temperature Solar Absorber Material Measurement Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Basic material properties determine the amount of solar energy that is absorbed, transmitted or reflected and these values will often change with differing temperatures. This investigation developed ...
Performance Evaluation of a Window Room Air Conditioner With Microchannel Condensers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A performance evaluation for a residential window air conditioning system with microchannel condensers has been performed. First, a series of wind-tunnel calorimeter tests were conducted for two ...
Mesoscale Variability of Jet Stream Winds Observed by the Sunset VHF Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sensitive Doppler radars have recently been developed that can routinely observe wind in the free atmosphere up to stratospheric heights. One of these, the 40 MHz Sunset radar, was used to observe the three-dimensional ...
VHF Doppler Radar Observations of Buoyancy Waves Associated with Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Platteville VHF Doppler radar, located on the Colorado piedmont near Platteville, Colorado, continuously measured the vertical wind velocity during a 12-day period in late July and early August 1981. Measurements were ...
Gravity Waves and Convection in Colorado during July 1983
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to gain insight into the complex dynamics of a convective system interacting with a gravity wave train, we have carried out an experiment in northeast Colorado during July and August, 1983, utilizing data from ...
Wind Profilers to Aid with Monitoring and Forecasting of High-Impact Weather in the Southeastern and Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ith funding provided by the 2012 Disaster Relief Act (Sandy Supplemental), NOAA?s Earth System Research Laboratory Physical Sciences Division has installed three Doppler wind-profiling radars and surface meteorology towers ...
Assessment of Extreme Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts and Development of Regional Extreme Event Thresholds Using Data from HMT-2006 and COOP Observers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Extreme precipitation events, and the quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) associated with them, are examined. The study uses data from the Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT), which conducted its first field study in ...
