Abstract: This manuscript uses 915-MHz wind profiler reflectivity and Doppler spectral width data in time versus altitude to characterize general behaviors of the ending of the daytime convective boundary layer. From a wide variety ...

Abstract: The depth of the atmospheric boundary layer is of interest in several different areas, such as chemistry, pollutant studies, and global modeling. In this research the authors describe and compare several different measurements ...

Abstract: onvective heating profiles are computed from one month of rainfall rate and cloud-top height measurements using global Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission and infrared cloud-top products. Estimates of the tropical wave ...

Abstract: AbstractUsing an idealized model framework with high-frequency tropical latent heating variability derived from global satellite observations of precipitation and clouds, the authors examine the properties and effects of ...

Abstract: Atmospheric gravity waves have a major effect on atmospheric circulation, structure, and stability on a global scale. Gravity waves can be generated by convection, but in many cases it is difficult to link convection ...

Abstract: This article describes the 1995 and 1996 Flatland boundary layer experiments, known as Flatland95 and Flatland96. A number of scientific and instrumental objectives were organized around the central theme of characterization ...
