Power Laws and the Empirical Representation of Velocity and Directional Shear
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind profiles over a smooth frozen sea were used to determine the exponent in the empirical power laws for wind modulus and both horizontal components. Classification according to stability shows the expected trend but ...
Standard Deviations of Wind Speed and Direction from Observations over a Smooth Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of wind speed and direction made every minute on a 15 m mast sited on a large expanse of sea ice were analyzed to study the behavior of their standard deviation. The large scatter normally observed under low ...
A Three-Step Method for Estimating the Mixing Height Using Ceilometer Data from the Helsinki Testbed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new three-step idealized-profile method to estimate the mixing height from vertical profiles of ceilometer backscattering coefficient is developed to address the weaknesses found with such estimates that are based on the ...
