Abstract: This paper describes a method for obtaining the dispersion properties of atmospheric waves from ground-based measurements of pressure and wind fluctuations. Having found the wave dispersion, we can find the displacement ...

Abstract: A high-resolution, vertically pointing FM/CW radar is used to record internal gravity waves in the lower atmosphere. When the temperature inversion in the atmosphere is near the ground (measured in wavelengths of the gravity ...

Abstract: A technique is described for using ground-based Doppler radars to monitor the development of the drop-size spectra of number density, liquid-water density, and liquid flux, in time and height. It is shown how such observations ...

Abstract: A method is presented to obtain a high-vertical-resolution humidity profile if the location and strength of only a few significant segments of the humidity gradient profile are known. The method is based on a previously ...

Abstract: In the present paper, atmospheric structure revealed by a high-resolution FM/CW radar sounder is compared with hypothetical models of internal wave structure and convection. Special attention is given to the distribution ...

Abstract: The use of ground-based clear-air Doppler radars to observe the structure of elevated atmospheric layers and associated flux quantities is described. Case studies in which radar and balloon data were available are analyzed. ...

Abstract: Networks of radars that point almost vertically and continuously measure the vertical profile of the horizontal wind will, in the future, be operated at many locations around the world. Although such radars are designed ...

Abstract: A study of the finestructure within elevated stable atmospheric layers is described. The observational program consisted of measurements made with fast-response turbulence sensors on a carriage traversing a 300 m tower and ...

Abstract: Ultra-high resolution (2m) radar observations show the amplification of unstable Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) waves, the development of roll vortices, their breaking and the resulting turbulence, and appear to represent our first ...
