Unsteady Thermally Driven Flows on Gentle Slopes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The theoretical and laboratory studies on mean velocity and temperature fields of an unsteady atmospheric boundary layer on sloping surfaces reported here were motivated by recent field observations on thermally driven ...
Quasi-Steady Katabatic Winds on Slopes in Wide Valleys: Hydraulic Theory and Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Theoretical and field observational studies on mean velocity and temperature fields of quasi-steady nocturnal downslope (katabatic) flows on sloping surfaces are reported for the case of very wide valleys in the presence ...
Flow and Turbulence in an Urban Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A better understanding of the interaction between the built environment and the atmosphere is required to more effectively manage urban airsheds. This paper reports an analysis of data from an atmospheric measurement ...
Virtual Towers Using Coherent Doppler Lidar during the Joint Urban 2003 Dispersion Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) atmospheric field experiment in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, of July 2003, lidar teams from Arizona State University and the Army Research Laboratory collaborated to perform intersecting ...
Observations of Flow and Turbulence in the Nocturnal Boundary Layer over a Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements were conducted on an eastern slope of the Salt Lake Basin (SLB) as a part of the Vertical Transport and Mixing Experiment (VTMX) conducted in October 2000. Of interest was the nocturnal boundary layer on a ...
