Vertical Motions Estimated Using Data from a Single Station and a Form of the Adiabatic Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The so-called adiabatic method for estimating vertical air motions under isentropic flow conditions can be used with wind and temperature data from a single station. With the advent of radio acoustic sounding systems, wind ...
Measurement of Synoptic-Scale Vertical Velocities by Two Nearby VHF Doppler Radars in Very Flat Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Case Studies of the Vertical Velocity Seen by the Flatland Radar Compared with Indirectly Computed Values
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The hypothesis that temporal averages of vertical motions over a single radar station are representative of weather systems large enough to be resolved by the radiosonde network is tested using data from the Flatland VHF ...
