Abstract: The relationship between the magnitude of backscattered power observed at vertical incidence by a VHF radar is related to atmospheric stability in accordance with the recently developed Fresnel scattering model. Utilizing ...

Abstract: A technique is presented which enables an estimate of the atmospheric temperature profile from atmospheric stability measurements made by vertically looking VHF radars. The determination of the tropopause height leads to ...

Abstract: In order to gain insight into the complex dynamics of a convective system interacting with a gravity wave train, we have carried out an experiment in northeast Colorado during July and August, 1983, utilizing data from ...

Abstract: During March 1981 the Sunset and Platteville VHF clear-air radars located in Colorado to the east of the continental divide observed vertical winds continuously over a three-week period. The vertical winds at these locations ...

Abstract: The Flatland radar, a VHF wind profiler located near Urbana, Illinois, has been used to study the variability of the tropopause over the period March 1987?April 1988. The vertically directed radar beam provides an indicator ...

Abstract: Observations of vertical velocity made with the Flatland VHF radar located in the extremely flat terrain near Champaign, Illinois, are used to study sources of enhanced variance. The variance is used as an indicator of ...
