Abstract: Diagnostic wind field numerical models have significant difficulty developing representative wind velocities in complex terrain. A large of this difficulty begins with the initial wind field interpolation. If this interpolated ...

Abstract: Measurements in a tributary to Brush Creek Valley during the September and October 1984 ASCOT campaign with laser anemometers, tethersondes, a minisodar, and smoke release were used to calculate the contribution by tributaries ...

Abstract: Fast-response light scattering measurements at two heights during a Texas dust storm are combined with horizontal and vertical wind data to derive and compare aerosol flux estimates using three techniques. The major result ...

Abstract: The characteristics of tributary drainage flow in stable, nocturnal conditions in three closely located tributaries are compared. The orientation of the tributaries with respect to Kimball Creek, into which they drain, ...

Abstract: This paper describes a regular oscillation observed in nighttime drainage airflow in a valley under relatively light upper-level wind conditions. The period of these oscillations is about 20 minutes with at least one ...

Abstract: The possible climatic effects of the secular increase of aerosols from man's activities have been coupled with the microphysics of the aerosol properties. The magnitude of the critical aerosol absorption coefficient to ...

Abstract: Field experiments measuring nocturnal tributary flows have shown complex internal structure. Variations in the flow range from short-term (8?16 min) oscillations (related to tributary/valley flow interactions) to long-term ...
