Abstract: During his tenure in the Meteorology Department at San Jose State University (1961?1978), Professor Albert Miller conducted extensive field investigations of the marine inversion over the San Francisco Bay Area. Measurements ...

Abstract: In order to study the physical aspects of intermittent turbulence in the free atmosphere, it is suggested that terms of an ?instantaneous? turbulent energy budget be computed from data collected by aircraft. This can be ...

Abstract: Detailed stratospheric wind and temperature data were gathered by aircraft over the mountains of southern Colorado on 1 March 1970. In a unique operation, two instrumented RB-57F aircraft flew a total of twelve upwind and ...

Abstract: The characteristics of the lower turbulent zone (LTZ) which is associated with mountain lee waves have been investigated through the analysis of aircraft observations made near Boulder, Colo. Numerical filters and statistical ...

Abstract: Data derived from the flight tapes of two airliners that experienced severe turbulence near thunderstorm tops are used to produce quantitative descriptions of the turbulence and its environment. The likely turbulence-producing ...

Abstract: Data collected on board an instrumented aircraft during the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiments, West Coast (MABLES WC) field study are examined. The data were collected at several levels in the marine and inversion ...

Abstract: Digital flight data recorder (DFDR) tapes from commercial aircraft can provide useful information about the mesoscale environment of severe turbulence incidents. Air motion computations from these data and their errors are ...
