RISOn the Role of Sloping Terrain in the Forcing of the Great Plains Low-Level Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The summertime Great Plains low-level jet (LLJ) has been the subject of numerous investigations during the past several decades. Characteristics of the LLJ include nighttime development of a pronounced wind maximum of ...
Isobaric Height Perturbations Associated with Mountain Waves Measured by Aircraft during the Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t has only been in the last few years that accurate measurement of the horizontal pressure gradient has been possible over complex terrain using an airborne platform. To infer forcing mechanisms for the wind, an independent ...
