Investigation of the Spatial Variability of the Convective Boundary Layer Heights over an Isolated Mountain: Cases from the MATERHORN-2012 Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: patiotemporal variability in the convective boundary layer height zi over complex terrain is governed by numerous factors such as land surface processes, topography, and synoptic conditions. Observational datasets to ...
Airborne Doppler Lidar Measurements of Valley Flows in Complex Coastal Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hree-dimensional winds obtained with an airborne Doppler lidar are used to investigate the spatial structure of topographically driven flows in complex coastal terrain in Southern California. The airborne Doppler lidar ...
Retrieving Winds in the Surface Layer over Land Using an Airborne Doppler Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: irborne Doppler wind lidars are increasingly being used to measure winds in the lower atmosphere at higher spatial resolution than ever before. However, wind retrieval in the range gates closest to the earth?s surface ...
The IMADA-AVER Boundary Layer Experiment in the Mexico City Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A boundary layer field experiment in the Mexico City basin during the period 24 February?22 March 1997 is described. A total of six sites were instrumented. At four of the sites, 915-MHz radar wind profilers were deployed ...
The MATERHORN: Unraveling the Intricacies of Mountain Weather
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: merging application areas such as air pollution in megacities, wind energy, urban security, and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles have intensified scientific and societal interest in mountain meteorology. To address ...
