Field Measurements of the Amount of Surface Layer Air versus Height in the Entrainment Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure of the atmospheric entrainment zone, an interfacial layer between the convective boundary layer and the stable air aloft, is studied using coincident high resolution aircraft and lidar observations obtained ...
The WSR-88D and the WSR-88D Operational Support Facility
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Weather Surveillance Radar?1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) System is the product of the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) program, a joint effort of the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Defense, and Transportation. WSR-88D ...
Experiments in Shower-Top Forecasting Using an Interactive One-Dimensional Cloud Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments were made in prediction of the elevation of warm season shower-tops, both prevailing and highest, using a one-dimensional cloud model run on a real-time minicomputer system. A forecaster inter-actively altered ...
Recording, Archiving, and Using WSR-88D Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to support NEXRAD program requirements, WSR-88D systems have the capability to record data and products at four levels. Of these, level II (base data) and level III (products) will be most commonly available for ...
Coincident Lidar and Aircraft Observations of Entrainment into Thermals and Mixed Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coincident observations of the daytime convective boundary layer over Oklahoma were made with the NCAR Queen Air aircraft and the University of Wisconsin ground-based lidar. The two data sets have been merged to provide a ...
An Update on the NEXRAD Program and Future WSR-88D Support to Operations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The operational network of WSR-88D systems is in place. These radars provide a large increase in performance and coverage over the radars they replaced?and in some locations are the first operational weather radars. The ...
REFRACTT 2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Refractivity Experiment for H2O Research and Collaborative Operational Technology Transfer (REFRACTT), conducted in northeast Colorado during the summer of 2006, provided a unique opportunity to obtain high-resolution ...
