The Øresund Experiment—A Nordic Mesoscale Dispersion Experiment Over a Land-Water-Land Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The atmospheric dispersion process and the modification in the wind field across than 20-km-wide ?resund strait between Denmark and Sweden were studied in this project. The meteorological observational network extended ...
Atmospheric Dispersion from Elevated Sources in an Urban Area: Comparison between Tracer Experiments and Model Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric dispersion experiments were carried out in the Copenhagen area under neutral and unstable conditions. The tracer sulphurhexafluoride was released without buoyancy from a tower at a height of 115 m and then ...
Estimation of the Entrainment Zone Depth in a Shallow Convective Boundary Layer from Sodar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes several methods for estimating the depth of the entrainment zone (?h) at the top of the daytime convective boundary layer (CBL) from sodar data. Both averaged profiles of sound backscatter intensity ...
Wind and Temperature Structure over a Land-Water-Land Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind and temperature data obtained on 5 June 1984 during the ?resund experiment are analyzed. The day was characterized by moderately strong winds blowing from a heated land area over a colder water surface and then over ...
A Tall-Tower Instrument System for Mean and Fluctuating Velocity, Fluctuating Temperature and Sensible Heat Flux Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For an ongoing elevated-source, urban-scale tracer experiment, an instrument system to measure the three-dimensional wind velocity and the turbulent sensible heat flux was developed. The wind velocity was measured with a ...
Length Scales of the Neutral Wind Profile over Homogeneous Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The wind speed profile for the neutral boundary layer is derived for a number of mixing-length parameterizations, which account for the height of the boundary layer. The wind speed profiles show good agreement with the ...
