Abstract: A manometric type of wind sensor has been developed. This sensor convert the dynamic pressure of the wind into a modulated dynamic pressure signal which can then be sensed using microphones. This permits wind speed ...

Abstract: Monte Carlo techniques are utilized to compute monostatic lidar returns from turbid atmospheres. Examples are evaluated for thick hazes, clouds, fogs and rain. The effects of multiple scattering are significant in the cases ...

Abstract: Procedures are described for the analysis of lidar data to remotely measure 1) spectra of aerosol density fluctuations, 2) radial and transverse components of the mean wind and turbulent fluctuations of the transverse ...

Abstract: A scanning lidar system has been used to observe convection in the atmospheric boundary layer. In particular, cell sizes and geometry have been determined and circulation patterns in and around the cells have been measured. ...

Abstract: Measurements of the optical refractive index structure coefficient Cn2 and the temperature structure coefficient CT2 were made over the Tularosa Basin of south central New Mexico using both tower and aircraft mounted ...

Abstract: Variations and trends in extreme climate events have only recently received much attention. Exponentially increasing economic losses, coupled with an increase in deaths due to these events, have focused attention on the ...

Abstract: dwestern United States, the summertime rise in infection rate by the West Nile virus is associated with a seasonal shift in the abundance of two mosquito populations, Culex restuans and Culex pipiens. This seasonal shift ...

Abstract: A field campaign was carried out near Boardman, Oregon, to study the effects of subgrid-scale variability of sensible-and latent-heat fluxes on surface boundary-layer properties. The experiment involved three U.S. Department ...

Abstract: This paper provides a synthesis of results that have emerged from recent modeling studies of the potential sensitivity of U.S. regional ozone (O3) concentrations to global climate change (ca. 2050). This research has been ...
