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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: This paper presents a climatology of coherent disturbances detected during 1991?95 by a network of barometers with a diameter of about 50 km located in a very flat terrain centered on the Flatland Atmospheric Observatory ...

Abstract: An experimental field campaign to measure synoptic-scale vertical velocities was conducted from 5 to 11 January 1991 in the Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, region, which is in very flat terrain far from mountains. Both the ...

Abstract: The hypothesis that temporal averages of vertical motions over a single radar station are representative of weather systems large enough to be resolved by the radiosonde network is tested using data from the Flatland VHF ...
