Abstract: Measurements of the horizontal and vertical wind component by a crosswind scintillometer during foehn, the chinooklike downslope windstorm in the Alps, are presented. Because of the sparsity of vertical velocity measurements ...

Abstract: This paper describes a simple method, based on routine meteorological data, to produce high-resolution wind analyses throughout the planetary boundary layer (PBL). It is a new way to interpolate wind measurements. According ...

Abstract: During a special observing period (SOP) of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP), boundary layer processes in highly complex topography were investigated in the Riviera Valley in southern Switzerland. The main focus was on ...

Abstract: are highly significant global ecosystems that consist of a mix of trees and grasses and that are highly spatially varied in their physical structure, species composition, and physiological function (i.e., leaf area and ...
