Abstract: Approximately 100 constant-volume, superpressured balloons (tetroons) were tracked in the Anderson and Putah Creek drainages of the Geysers geothermal area of northern California as part of the ASCOT (Atmospheric Studies ...

Abstract: The convection associated with a valley wind regime was analyzed by numerical techniques. The Boussinesq equations and their energy properties were used to define the terms computed from observed data. The numerical results ...

Abstract: Observations of airflow over the Santa Ana Mountains were analyzed by numerical techniques. The Boussinesq equations and their energy properties were used to define the terms computed from the observed data. The numerical ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional analysis shows the sea-breeze front to be primarily a wind shift line in which the thermal discontinuity lags behind the shear line and becomes quasi-stationary in the afternoon. Two synoptic patterns ...
