RISCategorization of Nocturnal Drainage Flows within the Brush Creek Valley and the Variability of Sigma Theta in Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The monthly frequencies of nocturnal drainage flows in the Brush Creek Valley were estimated over the period August 1982?January 1985 for the purpose of evaluating the representativeness of the drainage flows observed ...
The Dependence of Canyon Winds on Surface Cooling and External Forcing in Colorado's Front Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The atmospheric katabatic flow in the foothills of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains has been monitored by a network of towers and sodars for several years as part of the ASCOT program. The dependence of the outflow ...
The Dispersion of Atmospheric Tracers in Nocturnal Drainage Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a series of perfluorocarbon tracer experiments that were carried out in the Brush Creek Valley in western Colorado under the auspices of the Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain (ASCOT) ...
Experimental Design of the 1984 ASCOT Field Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During September and October of 1984 the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain program conducted an intensive field study in the Brush Creek Valley of western Colorado. The overall objective of the ...
Tributary, Valley and Sidewall Air Flow Interactions in a Deep Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Field experiments measuring nocturnal tributary flows have shown complex internal structure. Variations in the flow range from short-term (8?16 min) oscillations (related to tributary/valley flow interactions) to long-term ...
