Abstract: The neutral buoyant oscillation of a spherical balloon floating in the upper troposphere or lower stratosphere is predicted to be between 3 and 4 min for the simplest theoretical case. Variance spectra of balloonborne ...

Abstract: A fast algorithm to correct for the non-cosine response of the three-component Gill Propeller Anemometer is presented. Its intended use is for real time in-situ correction of the horizontal and vertical components of the ...

Abstract: onic anemometry is fundamental to all eddy-covariance studies of surface energy and ecosystem carbon and water balance. Recent studies have shown that some nonorthogonal anemometers underestimate vertical wind. Here it is ...

Abstract: This paper presents measured data related to the question of how constant are ?constant-level? balloons. The simultaneous use of two balloon-borne instruments, a radio altimeter and a pressure sensor, operating on entirely ...

Abstract: ark beetle outbreaks have killed billions of trees and affected millions of hectares of forest during recent decades. The objective of this study was to quantify responses of surface energy and hydrologic fluxes 2?3 yr ...

Abstract: y Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (CHATS) took place in spring 2007 and is the third in the series of Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (HATS) experiments. The HATS experiments have been instrumental in testing and ...
