Possible Effect of Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability on VHF Radar Observations of the Mean Vertical Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mean vertical velocities are of great interest in meteorology and vertically directed VHF radar have been used to measure directly. Recently it has been pointed out that in a gravity wave with upward energy propagation the ...
Relevance of a Tuning-Fork Effect for Temperature Measurements with the Gill Solent HS Ultrasonic Anemometer–Thermometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performance of a new type of sonic anemometer?thermometer (called a sonic), the Solent-Research HS, manufactured by Gill Instruments, Lymington, United Kingdom, was investigated. Measurements of the three wind-velocity ...
First Observations of Microbaroms with Single Absolute Barometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he first observations of microbaroms with single absolute barometers are presented and discussed. Microbaroms are pulses of atmospheric infrasound emitted by ocean surface waves. They can propagate over thousands of ...
meeting summary: Future Directions for Research on Meter- and Submeter-Scale Atmospheric Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the 1970s, tremendous progress was made in the physics of atmospheric finescale turbulence. In subsequent decades, effort in this field has languished. Although many scientific and technological problems associated with ...
A Scalable Datalogging System with Serial Interfaces and Integrated GPS Time Stamping
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A scalable datalogging system for micrometeorological, fast-response, in situ, and remote sensing applications is presented. The system is based on a standard x86 MINI-ITX computer and the open-source operating system ...
Implementation and Validation of Range Imaging on a UHF Radar Wind Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The available range resolution of pulsed radar wind profilers is usually limited by bandwidth restrictions. Range imaging (RIM) has recently been developed as a means of mitigating these limitations by operating the wind ...
Extreme Gradients in the Nocturnal Boundary Layer: Structure, Evolution, and Potential Causes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Cooperative Atmosphere?Surface Exchange Study-1999 (CASES-99) campaign in southeastern Kansas in the fall of 1999, the University of Colorado's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) ...
First Frequency-Domain Interferometry Observations of Large-Scale Vertical Motion in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spatiotemporal distribution of the vertical velocity at synoptic and subsynoptic scales is key to the patterns of weather and climate on earth. On these scales, the vertical velocity is on the order of one to a few ...
Metcrax 2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Meteor Crater Experiment (METCRAX 2006) was conducted in October 2006 at Arizona's Meteor Crater to investigate stable boundary layer evolution in a topographically uncomplicated basin surrounded by the nearly homogeneous ...
