Abstract: We consider the dynamics of hydrostatic gravity waves generated by the passage of a steady, stably stratified, moist flow over a two-dimensional topography. Coriolis effects are neglected. The cloud region is determined ...

Abstract: A field observation program was conducted at El Mirage, Calif., to investigate some aspects of the interaction between dust devils and their environment. The outputs of sensors designed to measure vertical vorticity were ...

Abstract: An experiment has been constructed which yields a vortex flow similar in many respects to atmospheric dust devils. Measurements were made of air velocity and temperature in the vortex core. These results were compared with ...

Abstract: An investigation of the dominant horizontal scale of motion in free convection, using data from GATE, principally from the NOAA acoustic sounder, is described. The horizontal scale was seen to vary from two times the depth ...

Abstract: Measurements during periods of atmospheric free convection have been made using acoustic echo sounders and conventional wind sensors on a meteorological tower. Comparison of data from the two instrument systems shows good ...

Abstract: A coherent Doppler lidar has been used in an aircraft to measure the 2-dimensional wind field in a number of different atmospheric situations. The lidar, a pulsed CO2 system, was installed in the NASA Convair 990. Galileo ...
