Abstract: Solutions of the nonlinear, coupled equations of horizontal and vertical balloon motions are obtained using standard expansion methods. Comparison of the results of these solutions with those from numerical integration and ...

Abstract: Radar wind profilers have been used to measure directly the vertical motion above the radar site. Mean values of vertical motions in the troposphere and lower stratosphere reported at sites in and near mountains are often ...

Abstract: Radar reflectivity for Bragg scattering is proportional to the atmospheric static stability. In vertically propagating gravity waves the perturbations to the static stability and to the winds occur either in phase or out ...

Abstract: The Platteville VHF Doppler radar, located on the Colorado piedmont near Platteville, Colorado, continuously measured the vertical wind velocity during a 12-day period in late July and early August 1981. Measurements were ...

Abstract: We present vertical wavenumber spectra of mesoscale wind fluctuations using data observed in the troposphere, lower stratosphere and mesosphere by the MU radar at 35°N in Japan in October 1986 and June 1987, as well as ...

Abstract: In order to gain insight into the complex dynamics of a convective system interacting with a gravity wave train, we have carried out an experiment in northeast Colorado during July and August, 1983, utilizing data from ...

Abstract: Observations of vertical velocity made with the Flatland VHF radar located in the extremely flat terrain near Champaign, Illinois, are used to study sources of enhanced variance. The variance is used as an indicator of ...

Abstract: We present in this paper a study of the azimuthal anisotropy of the motion field observed during a six-day campaign in March 1986 using the MU radar in Shigaraki, Japan. The radial wind velocity was observed at 20° zenith ...

Abstract: This paper presents a climatology of coherent disturbances detected during 1991?95 by a network of barometers with a diameter of about 50 km located in a very flat terrain centered on the Flatland Atmospheric Observatory ...

Abstract: An experimental field campaign to measure synoptic-scale vertical velocities was conducted from 5 to 11 January 1991 in the Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, region, which is in very flat terrain far from mountains. Both the ...
