Fine Altitude Resolution Radar Observations of Upper-Tropospheric and Lower-Stratospheric Winds and Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Preliminary results of wind velocity measurements made using the Arecibo 430 MHz radar are presented. These measurements were made in the altitude range between 10 and 30 km, with a time resolution of 1?2 min, and an ...
Fine Altitude Resolution Observations of Stratospheric Turbulent Layers by the Arecibo 430 MHz Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stratospheric turbulence is now observed by the Arecibo 430 MHz radar with an improved altitude resolution of 150 m. Turbulence is observed to occur in thin layers with a thickness usually less than the altitude resolution, ...
Radar Observations of Winds and Turbulence in the Stratosphere and Mesosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique for the observation of radar echoes from stratospheric and mesospheric heights has been developed at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory. Signals are detected at the altitude ranges between 10?35 km and from 55?85 ...
Dynamics of the Equatorial Mesosphere Observed Using the Jicamarca MST Radar during June and August 1987
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Jicamarca MST radar was used in two campaigns during June and August 1987 to measure wave influences, flow variability, and mean structure in the equatorial stratosphere and mesosphere. This paper presents observations ...
Internal Inertia–Gravity Waves in the Tropical Lower Stratosphere Observed by the Arecibo Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution upper tropospheric and lower stratospheric (5?30 km) wind data were obtained during three periods from 1979 to 1981 with the aid of the high-power UHF radar at Arecibo, Puerto Rico (18.4°N, 66.8°W). A ...
