Abstract: spect-sensitive backscattering of the atmosphere causes a small error in an effective line-of-sight direction in vertical beam observations leading to a serious degradation of vertical wind estimates due to contamination ...

Abstract: Turbulence generation mechanisms prevalent in the atmosphere are mainly shear instabilities, breaking of internal buoyancy waves, and convective instabilities such as thermal convection due to heating of the ground. In the ...

Abstract: haracteristically strong vertical wind disturbances (VWDs) with magnitudes larger than 1 m s?1 were observed in the Antarctic troposphere using a new mesosphere?stratosphere?troposphere (MST) radar called the Program of ...
