RISDoppler Lidar–Based Wind-Profile Measurement System for Offshore Wind-Energy and Other Marine Boundary Layer Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate measurement of wind speed profiles aloft in the marine boundary layer is a difficult challenge. The development of offshore wind energy requires accurate information on wind speeds above the surface at least at the ...
The Finescale Structure of a West Texas Dryline
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During spring and early summer, a surface confluence zone, often referred to as the dryline, forms in the midwestern United States between continental and maritime air masses. The dewpoint temperature across the dryline ...
Wind Energy Meteorology: Insight into Wind Properties in the Turbine-Rotor Layer of the Atmosphere from High-Resolution Doppler Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: g the need for high-quality wind information aloft in the layer occupied by turbine rotors (~30?150 m above ground level) is one of many significant challenges facing the wind energy industry. Without wind measurements at ...
The Optical Autocovariance Wind Lidar. Part I: OAWL Instrument Development and Demonstration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWe present the motivation, instrument concept, hardware descriptions, and initial validation testing for a Doppler wind lidar (DWL) system that uses optical autocovariance (OA) in a field-widened quadrature ...
meeting summary: Ground–Based Mobile Instrument Workshop Summary, 23–24 February 2000, Boulder, Colorado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a workshop on ground?based mobile instruments, which was held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, in February 2000. An inventory of both existing and ...
Determination of Convective Boundary Layer Entrainment Fluxes, Dissipation Rates, and the Molecular Destruction of Variances: Theoretical Description and a Strategy for Its Confirmation with a Novel Lidar System Synergy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric variables in the convective boundary layer (CBL), which are critical for turbulence parameterizations in weather and climate models, are assessed. These include entrainment fluxes, higher-order moments of humidity, ...
The Pulsed Coherent Doppler Lidar: Observations of Frontal Structure and the Planetary Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NOAA/WPL pulsed coherent Doppler lidar was used during the Texas Frontal Experiment in 1985 to study mesoscale preconvective atmospheric conditions. On 22 April 1985, the Doppler lidar, in conjunction with serial ...
NCAR–NOAA Lower-Tropospheric Water Vapor Workshop
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A workshop on remote sensing of lower-tropospheric water vapor, jointly sponsored by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was held on 30 June and 1 ...
Doppler Lidar Observations of the Mixing Height in Indianapolis Using an Automated Composite Fuzzy Logic Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA Halo Photonics Stream Line XR Doppler lidar has been deployed for the Indianapolis Flux Experiment (INFLUX) to measure profiles of the mean horizontal wind and the mixing layer height for quantification of ...
Doppler Lidar Estimation of Mixing Height Using Turbulence, Shear, and Aerosol Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The concept of boundary layer mixing height for meteorology and air quality applications using lidar data is reviewed, and new algorithms for estimation of mixing heights from various types of lower-tropospheric coherent ...
