Abstract: To estimate mesoscale variations in integrated water vapor, cloud liquid water, and temperature in a tropical region, multiwavelength microwave radiometric observations were carried out over a seven-week period on the ...

Abstract: Acoustic tomography is proposed as a method for monitoring near-surface atmospheric temperature and wind velocity fields. Basic issues relating to the feasibility and implementation of atmospheric tomography are discussed. ...

Abstract: For an ongoing elevated-source, urban-scale tracer experiment, an instrument system to measure the three-dimensional wind velocity and the turbulent sensible heat flux was developed. The wind velocity was measured with a ...

Abstract: We examine the consequences of using a vertical wavenumber spectral model to describe variations of vertical profiles of atmospheric variables (horizontal and vertical wind, temperature, and other scalars) about a mean ...

Abstract: Humidity variability at the top of the marine atmospheric boundary layer and in the overlying free troposphere was examined using data collected during the marine stratocumulus phase of the First Regional Experiment (FIRE) ...

Abstract: An interesting ice storm of moderate severity occurred along the east slopes of the Appalachians on 13?14 January 1980. Though surface temperatures were initially below freezing in most of this region, objective guidance ...

Abstract: The local structure and evolution of the convective boundary layer (CBL) are studied through measurements obtained with a volume-imaging radar, the turbulent eddy profiler (TEP). TEP has the unique ability to image the ...
