Abstract: This paper presents the results of a joint program combining airborne laser profilometer and Waverider buoy measurements of synoptic wave conditions in Lake Michigan during the passage of an intense cold front. Measurements ...

Abstract: Flow properties of a bubble plume in density-stratified conditions are studied using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) flow visualization. Entrained ambient fluid is identified by applying an image intensity threshold ...

Abstract: Measurements were made from aircraft of the 1.55-cm microwave emission from the North Sea and North Atlantic at surface wind speeds ranging from less than 5 to 25 m sec?1. Brightness temperatures in the nadir direction ...

Abstract: The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to spatial concentration data, obtained using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), for the flow around a confined circular cylinder (R=4,900) and compared with their ...

Abstract: Laboratory studies of tidal vortex formation and propagation through an idealized inlet configuration are presented for various water depths over flat bathymetry. Using surface particle image velocimetry, starting-jet ...

Abstract: The quality and vertical correlation scales of high-frequency (HF) radar-derived ocean surface current measurements from an ocean surface current radar (OSCR) are assessed by comparing surface to subsurface current ...

Abstract: AbstractSatellite meteorology is a relatively new branch of the atmospheric sciences. The field emerged in the late 1950s during the Cold War and built on the advances in rocketry after World War II. In less than 70 years, ...
