Abstract: A method is presented to obtain a high-vertical-resolution humidity profile if the location and strength of only a few significant segments of the humidity gradient profile are known. The method is based on a previously ...

Abstract: Even slight terrain inhomogeneities can cause large horizontal variations in the clear, stably stratified, nocturnal boundary layer largely through cold air drainage. By early morning the valleys and depressions can be ...

Abstract: A new method for deriving profiles of tropospheric water vapor and liquid water from a combination of ground-based remote sensors was applied and tested under winter conditions in Colorado. The method is an extension of ...

Abstract: Data from the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO) are used to investigate the wave and turbulence structure of the convective atmospheric mixed layer and the overlying inversion. Three cases are discussed, one in ...

Abstract: This study of a 5-yr continuous record of midtropospheric horizontal wind components from a radar wind profiler operating at Fleming, Colorado, shows a broad spectral peak centered around a period of 1 week and a minimum ...

Abstract: A radio acoustic sounding system (RASS), coupled with the NOAA/Wave Propagation Laboratory 915-MHz wind profiler, observed an arctic front and arctic air mass that passed over Denver, Colorado, between 1 and 5 February ...

Abstract: The paper describes a convective boundary layer experiment conducted in April 1978 at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory, and examines the spectral behavior of wind velocity and temperature from the Observatory's 300 m ...

Abstract: Several ground-based remote Sensors were operated together in Colorado during February and March 1991 to obtain continuous profiles of the kinematic and thermodynamic structure of the atmosphere. Instrument performance is ...
