RISTwenty-Four-Hour Observations of the Marine Boundary Layer Using Shipborne NOAA High-Resolution Doppler Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Shipborne observations obtained with the NOAA high-resolution Doppler lidar (HRDL) during the 1999 Nauru (Nauru99) campaign were used to study the structure of the marine boundary layer (MBL) in the tropical Pacific Ocean. ...
Evaluating Soil Water Content in a WRF-Noah Downscaling Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oil water content (SWC) depends on and affects the energy flux partitioning at the land?atmosphere interface. Above all, the latent heat flux is limited by the SWC of the root zone on one hand and radiation on the other. ...
Measuring Second- through Fourth-Order Moments in Noisy Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors derive expressions for correcting second- through fourth-order moments of measured variables that are contaminated by random uncorrelated noise. These expressions are then tested by applying them to an artificially ...
The Impact of Plantations on Weather and Climate in Coastal Desert Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent advances in technology permit the irrigation of dry, coastal areas, avoiding the use of fossil water and conflicts with other land use (e.g., for food production). Consequently, it becomes reasonable to consider ...
Investigation of Hydrostatic Imbalance with Field Observations

Determination of Convective Boundary Layer Entrainment Fluxes, Dissipation Rates, and the Molecular Destruction of Variances: Theoretical Description and a Strategy for Its Confirmation with a Novel Lidar System Synergy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric variables in the convective boundary layer (CBL), which are critical for turbulence parameterizations in weather and climate models, are assessed. These include entrainment fluxes, higher-order moments of humidity, ...
Four-Dimensional Variational Assimilation of Water Vapor Differential Absorption Lidar Data: The First Case Study within IHOP_2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four-dimensional variational assimilation of water vapor differential absorption lidar (DIAL) data has been applied for investigating their impact on the initial water field for mesoscale weather forecasting. A case that ...
NCAR–NOAA Lower-Tropospheric Water Vapor Workshop
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A workshop on remote sensing of lower-tropospheric water vapor, jointly sponsored by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was held on 30 June and 1 ...
Four-Dimensional Variational Data Analysis of Water Vapor Raman Lidar Data and Their Impact on Mesoscale Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of water vapor observations on mesoscale initial fields provided by a triangle of Raman lidar systems covering an area of about 200 km ? 200 km is investigated. A test case during the Lindenberg Campaign for ...
Observations of Kinematics and Thermodynamic Structure Surrounding a Convective Storm Cluster over a Low Mountain Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of a convective storm cluster in the northern Black Forest in southwest Germany have revealed the development of a warm and dry downdraft under its anvil cloud that had an inhibiting effect on the subsequent ...
