Abstract: The effects of sound speed fluctuations on various measurements made with sonic anemometers are derived. Corrections due to temperature-generated sound speed fluctuations on measured statistics are estimated from the 1968 ...

Abstract: A ?radome gust probe? system was installed on a twin-jet aircraft for the purpose of boundary-layer research. This system provided a useful relatively low-cost method for air motion and turbulence measurements on an aircraft ...

Abstract: Three aircraft temperature sensors were compared in clear-air conditions on the NCAR King Air: a standard Rosemount nondeiced, fast-response flight test probe, the NCAR K probe, and a modified Rosemount probe with the ...

Abstract: Andrew F. Bunker was a research scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for over 30 years until his death in 1979. He was interested in the energy exchanges between the atmosphere and ocean, and devised ...

Abstract: Surface meteorological data from a large instrumented buoy moored in the North Pacific were analyzed and estimates of air-sea interaction fluxes of momentum, sensible heat, latent heat and radiation were made. Good agreement ...

Abstract: The parameterizations of the sensible heat and moisture fluxes by the bulk aerodynamic formulas are determined from a compilation of existing data, together with some new results. The data set comprised 152 determinations ...

Abstract: The vertical structure of the low-level wind jet over the Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon is modeled by using the geostrophic wind shear (thermal wind) and a two-layer boundary layer model. We show that geostrophic ...

Abstract: Simulations, made with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University (PSU)?National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5), of the response of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) as air ...

Abstract: It has been recognized that progress toward understanding the mesoscale structure of the ocean requires more knowledge of the small-scale structure of the marine atmosphere and the processes that couple the air and the ...

Abstract: Observations of the mean and turbulent structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). obtained using the U.K. Meteorological Research Flight C-130 Hercules aircraft are used to investigate the momentum balance ...
