Observations and Numerical Simulations of Winds within a Broad Forested Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tennessee River Valley in the eastern part of Tennessee is a broad valley with a moist climate and extensive forest cover. A series of 50?100-m-high parallel ridges forms corrugations along the floor of the valley. ...
Estimation of Horizontal Diffusion from Oblique Aerial Photographs of Smoke Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A photogrammetric method is described for obtaining estimates of the horizontal diffusion parameter σy from oblique aerial photographs of smoke clouds. The method requires three reference markers on the ground to determine ...
Simulation of Tracer Concentration Data in the Brush Creek Drainage Flow Using an Integrated Puff Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 1984 ASCOT field study in Brush Creek Valley, two perfluorocarbon tracers were released into the nocturnal drainage flow at two different heights. The resulting surface concentrations were sampled at 90 sites, ...
A Pressure-Sphere Anemometer for Measuring Turbulence and Fluxes in Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence and air-surface exchange are important factors throughout the life cycle of a tropical cyclone. Conventional turbulence instruments are not designed to function in the extreme environment encountered in such ...
Mass and Momentum Balance in the Brush Creek Drainage Flow Determined from Single-Profile Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fluxes and flux-divergences of mass and momentum in Brush Creek Valley, computed from measurements taken by Tethersondes and Doppler sodars in the 1984 ASCOT experiment, are presented. Estimates of mass influx from open ...
