Abstract: Using a linear analytic model and a nonlinear numerical model, the adequacy of the hydrostatic model is investigated for use in the simulation of sea and land breezes over flat terrain. Among the results it is found that ...

Abstract: An Integrated Sounding System (ISS) that combines state-of- the-art remote and in situ sensors into a single transportable facility has been developed jointly by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the ...
