RISCluster Analysis of Surface Winds in Houston, Texas, and the Impact of Wind Patterns on Ozone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The city of Houston, Texas, is near a complex coastline and numerous petrochemical plants, the combination of which plays a large role in Houston?s air pollution events. It has long been known that the thermally driven ...
Development of a Coastal Drought Index Using Salinity Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: critical aspect of the uniqueness of coastal drought is the effects on the salinity dynamics of creeks, rivers, and estuaries. The location of the freshwater?saltwater interface along the coast is an important factor in ...
The Evolution of Lee-Wave–Rotor Activity in the Lee of Pike’s Peak under the Influence of a Cold Frontal Passage: Implications for Aircraft Safety
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A lee-wave?rotor system interacting with an approaching cold front in the lee of Pike?s Peak near Colorado Springs, Colorado, on 1 April 1997 is studied observationally and numerically. Dynamical effects associated with ...
An Evaluation of Mesoscale Model Predictions of Down-Valley and Canyon Flows and Their Consequences Using Doppler Lidar Measurements during VTMX 2000
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mesoscale model, a Lagrangian particle dispersion model, and extensive Doppler lidar wind measurements during the Vertical Transport and Mixing (VTMX) 2000 field campaign were used to examine converging flows over the ...
Nocturnal Low-Level Jet in a Mountain Basin Complex. Part II: Transport and Diffusion of Tracer under Stable Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Differences in nighttime transport and diffusion of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) tracer in an urban complex-terrain setting (Salt Lake City, Utah) are investigated using surface and Doppler lidar wind data and large-scale ...
Multiscale Analysis of a Meso-β Frontal Passage in the Complex Terrain of the Colorado Front Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from a mesoscale observing network are used to describe the evolution of a complex boundary between a dry air mass near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and a shallow moist air mass over the eastern plains. ...
Comparisons between Mesoscale Model Terrain Sensitivity Studies and Doppler Lidar Measurements of the Sea Breeze at Monterey Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A NOAA/Environmental Technology Laboratory Doppler lidar measured the life cycle of the land- and sea-breeze system at Monterey Bay, California, in 1987, during the Land?Sea Breeze Experiment (LASBEX). On days with offshore ...
Wind-Flow Patterns in the Grand Canyon as Revealed by Doppler Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many interesting flow patterns were found in the Grand Canyon by a scanning Doppler lidar deployed to the south rim during the 1990 Wintertime Visibility Study. Three are analyzed in this study: 1) flow reversal in the ...
Nocturnal Low-Level Jet in a Mountain Basin Complex. Part I: Evolution and Effects on Local Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Doppler lidar deployed to the center of the Great Salt Lake (GSL) basin during the Vertical Transport and Mixing (VTMX) field campaign in October 2000 found a diurnal cycle of the along-basin winds with northerly up-basin ...
