Accuracy of Wind Velocity Determinations with Doppler Sodars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The measurement of the radial wind velocity component in sodar systems is generally carried out by application of the first moment integral to the spectrum of the received echoes. In unfavorable signal-to-noise conditions ...
Mean Vertical Motions in the PBL Measured by Doppler Sodar: Accuracy, Ambiguities, and Possible Improvements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate measurements of vertical wind velocity w by sodar are useful for investigating dynamic phenomena in the PBL such as convection, subsidence, divergence, and vertical movements associated with local circulation. ...
Generation of Gravity Waves by Jet Streams in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics of internal gravity waves generated by tropospheric jet streams are analyzed and discussed. By solving numerically the equations of motion in the linear, inviscid and Boussinesq limit, it is shown that ...
Quantitative Analysis and Interpretation of Dot Echoes Observed with a Doppler Sodar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: While some people involved in the acoustic remote sensing field are aware of the possibility of receiving dot echoes from nonatmospheric targets, most of the papers available in the scientific literature dealing with this ...
