Abstract: We first discuss observations of two classes of two-dimensional large eddy states in weakly stratified atmospheric boundary layers. One class is characterized by large eddies with a single horizontal scale. The other ...

Abstract: The existence of synoptically distributed, coherent, linear mesoscale features with wavelengths of 12?18 km in a shallow (zl ≈ 150 m) atmospheric boundary layer is documented. These were observed north of Alaska over the ...

Abstract: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has proven to be a useful tool for observing a wide variety of oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena. This is because capillary waves whose amplitudes are modulated in space and time by ...

Abstract: An important aspect of operational meteorology in and around the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada in the winter months is the forecasting of lake-effect precipitation. While the synoptic- and mesoscale ...

Abstract: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of oceans and the Great Lakes have provided a highly detailed means of observing atmospheric boundary layer phenomena such as convection, land breezes, and internal gravity waves. This ...
