Fast-Response Humidity Measurements with the Psychrometric Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple method for correcting the time series of a wet temperature sensor characterized by slow response is presented in this paper. A first-order linear approximation of the heat transfer equation is used for correcting ...
Automatic Detection of Fixed Echoes in Sodar Facsimile Records Using the Wavelet Transform
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to detect and remove fixed echoes in sodar facsimile records is described. This method is based on the capability of the wavelet transform to objectively detect singularities in signals, and it is adapted to ...
Atmospheric Acoustic Minisounder
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An improved version of a monostatic acoustic minisounder for the investigation of the structure and dynamics of the lower boundary layer, operating at high frequencies and equipped with a specially designed micro-antenna ...
An Analysis of Wind Direction and Horizontal Wind Component Fluctuations over Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on an extensive wind dataset over complex terrain, the commonly used small-angle approximation σv ≈ σ?V is studied and found to overestimate over all wind speeds and σ? values observed. This should be anticipated due ...
On the Local Isotropy of the Temperature Field in an Urban Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experimental results of simultaneous measurements of temperature differences in the streamwise, lateral and vertical directions during convective, new-neutral and stable conditions in the atmospheric boundary layer of an ...
Experimental Study of the Vertical Structure of the Lower Troposphere over a SmallGreek Island in the Aegean Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental campaign was carried out on a small Greek island that is characterized by complex terrain; its aim was to study the local characteristics of the vertical structure of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). ...
Some Observations on the Destruction of the Morning Temperature Inversions in a Large and Broad Mountain Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the vertical thermal and wind structure made in a large and broad valley are reported here. The growth of the convective boundary layer is found to be responsible for the destruction of the nocturnal ...
