RISSimultaneous Observations of Thin Humidity Gradients in the Lower Troposphere with a Raman Lidar and the Very High-Frequency Middle- and Upper-Atmosphere Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Humidity is, among other things, a key parameter in the evolution of atmospheric dynamics and in the formation of clouds and precipitation through latent heat release. The continuous observation of its vertical distribution ...
Validation of Winds Measured by MU Radar with GPS Radiosondes during the MUTSI Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For many years, mesosphere?stratosphere?troposphere (MST) radar techniques have been used for studying the structure and dynamics of the lower and middle atmosphere. In particular, these instruments are unique tools for ...
Strong Mixing Events Observed near the Tropopause with the MU Radar and High-Resolution Balloon Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the present paper, strong isotropic radar echo enhancements are shown that are related to the existence of nearly statically neutralized layers (40?120 m thick) observed with high-resolution (10 cm) temperature measurements ...
High-Resolution Observations with MU Radar of a KH Instability Triggered by an Inertia–Gravity Wave in the Upper Part of a Jet Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Kelvin?Helmholtz (KH) instability is likely one of the most important sources of clear-air turbulence in the lower atmosphere. It produces billows, which mix and transport heat and materials vertically in the stably ...
