Abstract: We explain, using in situ data, some of the mechanisms contributing to acoustic backscatter measured using an active, vertically pointing echosonde (acoustic sounder) mounted aboard ship in the tropical Atlantic. Averaged ...

Abstract: In an experiment conducted at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO), comparisons were made between two types of sonic anemometer and thermometer systems. One sonic anemometer was a single-axis system manufactured by ...

Abstract: Radars and acoustic sounding systems sense properties of the turbulence structure of the atmosphere. If atmospheric turbulence can be related to the mean gradient parameters, Doppler radars and acoustic sounders can provide ...

Abstract: can Meteorological Society (AMS) Weather and Climate Enterprise Strategic Implementation Plan for Generating and Communicating Forecast Uncertainty (the Plan) is summarized. The Plan (available on the AMS website at ...

Abstract: have emerged as a critical mechanism linking weather research with forecasting operations. The U.S. Weather Research Program (USWRP) was formed in the 1990s to help identify key gaps in research related to major weather ...

Abstract: Private sector meteorology is a rapidly growing enterprise. It has been estimated that the provision of weather information has, by some estimates, a global market totaling in the billions of dollars. Further, the decisions ...
