Abstract: The number of atmospheric sounding techniques and the amount of missions within each of them continue to grow at the present time. The probability of having two or more profiles in a given region and time interval therefore ...

Abstract: Transformations that take into account the characteristics of balloon motion and wave propagation to infer the ?real? vertical wavelengths from the ?apparent? ones measured during soundings were derived in a first paper. ...

Abstract: Deep convection in the Tunuyán Valley region (33°?34°S, 69°?70°W) on the eastern side of the highest peaks of the Andes Mountains is sometimes associated with damaging hail. Understanding the physical mechanisms responsible ...

Abstract: With the assumption of a polytropic evolution for the lifting gas, the response of an ascending open atmospheric balloon to a monochromatic gravity wave is specified among other parameters by the heat balance with the ...

Abstract: Analytic solutions for the vertical response of an open stratospheric balloon to the presence of inertio-gravity waves during its descent are obtained. Monochromatic waves with simultaneous variations in density, velocity, ...
