Early Morning Ventilation of a Gaseous Tracer from a Mountain Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An important component of a joint Environmental Protection Agency?Department of Energy field experiment in Brush Creek Valley, Colorado in July?August 1982, was an aircraft sampling task to help verify the early morning ...
Influence of External Meteorology on Nocturnal Valley Drainage Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thermally driven local circulation in valleys has been studied for many years with the result that the underlying physics are reasonably well understood. ASCOT experiments of the early 1980s were formulated to help quantify ...
Mesoscale Influences on Nocturnal Valley Drainage Winds in Western Colorado Valleys
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mesoalpha-scale upper-level sounding network data collected during the 1984 ASCOT meteorological and tracer experiments provided a unique opportunity to analyze the nocturnal drainage wind in four different valleys in ...
The Development of a Prototype Coupled Analysis and Nowcasting Knowledge-based System for Complex-Terrain Interaction Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental weather classification, analysis, and nowcasting system, based upon a combination of artificial intelligence techniques and conventional numerical modeling, and designed for use as a real-time range/field ...
Deep Valley Radiation and Surface Energy Budget Microclimates. Part II: Energy Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface energy budget measurements were made concurrently at five sites located on the valley floor, sidewalls and ridgetop of Colorado's 650-m deep Brush Creek Valley (39°32?N, 108°24?W) on the nearly clear day of 25 ...
Deep Valley Radiation and Surface Energy Budget Microclimates. Part I: Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solar and longwave radiation data are presented for five sites in Colorado's 650 m deep semiarid Brush Creek Valley (39°32?N, 108°24?W) during September 1984. During the sunlit period of a nearly clear day, individual sites ...
