Doppler Radar Observations of Momentum Flux in a Cloudless Convective Layer With Rolls
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dual Doppler-radars are used to obtain momentum flux and turbulence intensities in the cloudless convective boundary-layer (CBL) containing roll vortices. Momentum flux from small scales unresolved by the radar is determined ...
Applications of a Doppler Radar to Diagnose a Frontal Zone Prior to Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mean kinematic wind properties are obtained from the analysis of clear-air Doppler radar data along circles, a few hours prior to thunderstorm development. A variety of information is found to complement synoptic analysis. ...
Some Observations of the Clearing of Cumulus Clouds Downwind from Snow-Covered Areas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite images that illustrate the clearing of cumulus clouds downwind from snow-covered areas are presented. The cloud clearing resembles that occasionally observed with lakes during warm advection, supporting the ...
