The Shape of Internal Waves of Finite Amplitude from High-Resolution Radar Sounding of the Lower Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution, vertically pointing FM/CW radar is used to record internal gravity waves in the lower atmosphere. When the temperature inversion in the atmosphere is near the ground (measured in wavelengths of the gravity ...
Sensitivity Calibration of a Dual-Beam Vertically Pointing FM-CW Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of calibrating a fixed vertically pointing radar is presented. The technique involves the firing of B-B shot of known radar cross section through the beam while making successive trajectory corrections until the ...
Concurrent FM-CW Radar and Lidar Observations of the Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Boundary layer probing by multiple remote sensors can greatly improve the understanding of processes in this complex region. For this purpose one needs to know the unique information each individual sensor can provide. Two ...
The Birth of “CAT” and Microscale Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ultra-high resolution (2m) radar observations show the amplification of unstable Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) waves, the development of roll vortices, their breaking and the resulting turbulence, and appear to represent our first ...
