Abstract: We have demonstrated practical measurement of profiles of horizontal wind magnitude and direction to altitudes of 750 m by making radial velocity measurements with a Doppler lidar using conical scanning. Comparison with ...

Abstract: Remote sensing of the lower atmosphere by lidar yields profiles of the backscattering cross section along the optical path. These may be simply converted to give a qualitative picture of the distribution of atmospheric ...

Abstract: Radar observations and model results are used to investigate the microphysical evolution of an isolated, intense storm observed on 20 July during the Microburst and Severe Thunderstorm (MIST) experiment. The storm grew to ...

Abstract: An analysis is performed on a microburst line-producing cloud that occurred near Denver, Colorado on 13 July 1982. The cloud line developed in an environment conducive to the production of low-reflectivity microbursts. ...
