Abstract: During the last three decades, aircraft have assumed an increasingly important role as platforms for atmospheric measurement. Because of the nature of the wind measurement process, however, low-frequency winds remain ...

Abstract: n expedition to study the stability of the weakly stratified water column in the eastern Weddell Sea was undertaken in the austral winter of 2005. A regional CTD survey around Maud Rise delineated water mass boundaries ...

Abstract: Calibration of an airborne Lyman-α hygrometer against simultaneous measurements of humidity from a dewpoint hygrometer shows that Lyman-α biases drift with time. Analyses of low-level flight data from four days during the ...

Abstract: Aircraft data from the JASIN Experiment have been used to examine the role that intermittency plays in turbulent transfer in the near-neutral marine atmospheric boundary layer. Conditional sampling, using the time-varying ...

Abstract: Data from several surface meteorological networks in the vicinity of the U.S. Department of Energy?s Southern Great Plains Cloud and Radiation Testbed were used to investigate the relationship between boundary layer ...

Abstract: A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved diagnostic wind model [California Meteorological Model (CALMET)] was evaluated during a typical lake-breeze event under fair weather conditions in the Chicago region. ...

Abstract: his study examines the interaction of diffusive convection and shear through a series of 2D and 3D direct numerical simulations (DNS). The model employed is based on the Boussinesq equations of motion with oscillating shear ...

Abstract: Meteorological mechanisms affecting the evolution of a persistent wintertime cold air pool that began on 2 January and ended on 7 January 1999 in the Columbia basin of eastern Washington were investigated using a mesoscale ...

Abstract: he accuracy of winds derived from Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) level-II data is assessed by comparison with independent observations from 915-MHz radar wind profilers. The evaluation is carried out at two locations ...
