Abstract: AbstractThe time-mean and time-varying smoke and velocity structure of a wildfire convective plume is examined using a high-resolution scanning Doppler lidar. The mean plume is shown to exhibit the archetypal form of a ...

Abstract: igh-resolution idealized numerical simulations are used to examine the turbulent removal of cold-air pools commonly observed in mountain valleys and basins. A control simulation with winds aloft increasing from 0.5 to 20 ...

Abstract: he position and variability of storm tracks across western North America are examined during the October?April cool seasons spanning 1989?2010. The location and intensity of storms are represented by strong synoptic-scale ...

Abstract: AbstractThe boundary layer controls on shallow cumulus (ShCu) convection are examined using a suite of remote and in situ sensors at ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP). A key instrument in the study is a Doppler lidar that ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Rapid Deployments to Wildfires Experiment (RaDFIRE) was a meteorological field campaign aimed at observing fire?atmosphere interactions during active wildfires. Using a rapidly deployable scanning Doppler lidar, ...

Abstract: stent Cold-Air Pool Study (PCAPS) was conducted in Utah's Salt Lake valley from 1 December 2010 to 7 February 2011. The field campaign's primary goal was to improve understanding of the physical processes governing the ...
