RISFine Structure of Vertical Motion in the Stratiform Precipitation Region Observed by a VHF Doppler Radar Installed in Sumatra, Indonesia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical motion W profiles in the stratiform precipitation region of mesoscale cloud clusters were investigated using wind data observed by VHF Doppler radar installed in western Sumatra Island (0.2°S, 100.32°E). A special ...
MU Radar and Lidar Observations of Clear-Air Turbulence underneath Cirrus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence generation mechanisms prevalent in the atmosphere are mainly shear instabilities, breaking of internal buoyancy waves, and convective instabilities such as thermal convection due to heating of the ground. In the ...
Simultaneous Observations of Cirrus Clouds with a Millimeter-Wave Radar and the MU Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of frontal cirrus clouds were conducted with the scanning millimeter-wave radar at the Shigaraki Middle and Upper Atmosphere (MU) Radar Observatory in Shiga, Japan, during 30 September?13 October 2000. The ...
Multiscale Aspects of Convective Systems Associated with an Intraseasonal Oscillation over the Indonesian Maritime Continent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiscale aspects of convective systems over the Indonesian Maritime Continent in the convectively active phase of an intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) during November 2002 are studied using Geostationary Meteorological ...
