Implication of Spatial Averaging in Complex-Terrain Wind Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Studies of wind over complex terrain have been conducted at three times and two locations in Northern California. Instrumentation included conventional cup-vane anemometers and optical anemometers with spatial averaging ...
Smoke Flow Visualization in a Tributary of a Deep Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Smoke pot and oil fog smoke tracers have been used to plan meteorological instrument placement and quantitatively estimate air volume flow from a tributary during nocturnal drainage wind conditions. The estimated volume ...
Results of a Comprehensive Atmospheric Aerosol-Radiation Experiment in the Southwestern United States. Part II: Radiation Flux Measurements and Theoretical Interpretation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The experimental results in Part I are used in the theoretical interpretation of the radiation flux measurements which were taken with an aircraft. The absorption term of the complex refractive index of aerosols is estimated ...
Results of a Comprehensive Atmospheric Aerosol-Radiation Experiment in the Southwestern United States Part I: Size Distribution, Extinction Optical Depth and Vertical Profiles of Aerosols Suspended in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An exploratory field experiment was undertaken to determine the practicality of a method specifically designed to obtain the optical properties of aerosols as they relate to the earth's radiation balance. The method requires ...
