The Oblique Spaced Antenna Method for Measuring the Atmospheric Wind Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A novel extension of the spaced antenna method for VHF/UHF radar and wind profiler applications is introduced in this paper. It is proposed that instead of pointing the spaced antenna beams vertically, off-vertical oblique ...
Measurement of Synoptic-Scale Vertical Velocities by Two Nearby VHF Doppler Radars in Very Flat Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental field campaign to measure synoptic-scale vertical velocities was conducted from 5 to 11 January 1991 in the Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, region, which is in very flat terrain far from mountains. Both the ...
HRDI Observations of Mean Meridional Winds at Solstice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) measurements of daytime and nighttime winds at 95 km are used to deduce seasonally averaged Eulerian mean meridional winds during six solstice periods. These estimates are compared ...
