The Role of Quantitative Infrared Imagery in Investigations of the Nocturnal Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Cooperative Atmospheric?Surface Exchange Study in 1999 (CASES99), an intensive investigation of the stable nocturnal boundary layer, a versatile and sensitive cryogenically cooled thermal imaging radiometer, the ...
Modification of a Commercial Gas Filter Correlation CO Detector for Enhanced Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Carbon monoxide is important in tropospheric chemsitry and useful in studies of cloud dynamics, yet measurements of this gas, especially from aircraft, are too few to characterize fully the atmospheric sources, sinks and ...
Deployment and Evaluation of a System for Ground-Based Measurement of Cloud Liquid Water Turbulent Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Direct interception of windblown cloud water by forests has been dubbed ?occult deposition? because it represents a hydrological input that is hidden from rain gauges. Eddy correlation studies of this phenomenon have ...
The Discovery of African Dust Transport to the Western Hemisphere and the Saharan Air Layer: A History
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Heat Balance in the Nocturnal Boundary Layer during CASES-99
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A unique set of nocturnal longwave radiative and sensible heat flux divergences was obtained during the 1999 Cooperative Atmosphere?Surface Exchange Study (CASES-99). These divergences are based on upward and downward ...
An Evaluation of Calibration Techniques for In Situ Carbon Dioxide Measurements Using a Programmable Portable Trace-Gas Measuring System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The construction and deployment of a portable trace-gas measurement system (TGaMS) is described. The air-collection system (dubbed HYDRA) collects air samples from 18 different locations and was connected to either one or ...
