Abstract: Two types of convective patterns are observed with radar in the clear atmosphere. One pattern consistsof small thermal-like cells (Type I) which are in the order of 1-3 km in diameter and several hundredmeters in height. ...

Abstract: A general analysis is made of the turbulent refractivity spectrum in and beyond the limiting microscale and a relation derived for its scattering reflectivity in either the back or bistatic directions. Radar reflectivity ...

Abstract: Widespread and persistent clear air turbulence (CAT) occurred over the Eastern Seaboard of the United States between New York and South Carolina on 18 March 1969. The major synoptic features and a qualitative discussion ...

Abstract: Washington, D. C., microbarograph records for 18 March 1969 reveal gravity-wave-associated pressure oscillations which appear to be directly related to upper tropospheric wave structure observed at the same time with a ...

Abstract: The accurate identification of optically thin cirrus clouds in global meteorological satellite imagery by automated cloud analysis algorithms is critical to environmental remote sensing studies, such as those related to ...

Abstract: The results of simultaneous studies of clear air turbulence (CAT) in the lower 15 km of the atmosphere by multi-wavelength radar, jet aircraft and special rawinsondes at the JAFNA radar facility at Wallops Island, Va., are ...
