RISFlow Variability in a North American Downtown Street Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous field and laboratory studies have indicated that flow and turbulence inside urban areas and, in particular, in street canyons, is very complex and is associated with wakes and vortices developing near buildings. ...
Variability of Surface Air Temperature over Gently Sloped Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and wind data from a rural micronet and nearby site of the Oklahoma Mesonet are analyzed to study the frequency, strength, and formation processes of cold-pool events in a region with gentle terrain. Spatial ...
A New Generation of Ground-Based Mobile Platforms for Active and Passive Profiling of the Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMobile systems equipped with remote sensing instruments capable of simultaneous profiling of temperature, moisture, and wind at high temporal resolutions can offer insights into atmospheric phenomena that the ...

Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mobile systems equipped with remote sensing instruments capable of simultaneous profiling of temperature, moisture, and wind at high temporal resolutions can offer insights into atmospheric phenomena that the operational ...
Convection Initiation Caused by Heterogeneous Low-Level Jets over the Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractObservations from three nights of the Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) field campaign were used in conjunction with Rapid Refresh model forecasts to find the cause of north?south lines of convection, ...
The Great Plains Low-Level Jet during PECAN: Observed and Simulated Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDuring the 2015 Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) field campaign, several nocturnal low-level jets (NLLJs) were observed with integrated boundary layer profiling systems at multiple sites. This paper gives ...
Impact of Low-Level Jets on the Nocturnal Urban Heat Island Intensity in Oklahoma City
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: revious analysis of Oklahoma City (OKC), Oklahoma, temperature data indicated that urban heat islands (UHIs) frequently formed at night and the observed UHI intensity was variable (1°?4°C). The current study focuses on ...
The Lake Thunderbird Micronet Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Lake Thunderbird Micronet is a dense network of environmental sensors and a meteorological tower situated on ?10 acres of rural land in central Oklahoma. The Micronet was established in the spring of 2002 as part of a ...
Sensitivity of Predictions of the Urban Surface Energy Balance and Heat Island to Variations of Urban Canopy Parameters in Simulations with the WRF Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s NWP and climate models continue to evolve toward finer grid spacing, efforts have been undertaken to better represent urban effects. For this study, the single-layer urban canopy model (SLUCM) of the High-Resolution Land ...
Analysis of Urban Effects in Oklahoma City using a Dense Surface Observing Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: any studies have investigated urban heat island (UHI) intensity for cities around the world, which is normally quantified as the temperature difference between urban location(s) and rural location(s). A few open questions ...
