Superpressure Balloons as Isentropic/Isopycnic Tracers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Synchronous radar, temperature and pressure data of suitable quality, gathered from three balloon flights of the Mountain Wave Project, were analyzed in detail to show the relationships between balloon-depicted waves and ...
Ambient Temperature Measurements from Radiosondes Flown on Constant-Level Balloons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cause of erroneous temperatures obtained in the earlier phases of a study using standard radiosondes flown on constant-level balloons at White Sands Missile Range is discussed. A simple and inexpensive modification of ...
A High-Resolution Continuous Pressure Sensor Modification for Radiosondes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes how continuous pressure measurements may be obtained by making a relatively simple modification to any standard or clock-switched radiosonde which can be flown on a rising or floating balloon. The ...
Investigation of a Complex Mountain Wave Situation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A complex mountain lee wave was recorded by radar-tracked superpressure balloons at White Sands Missile Range on 6 May 1965 at a mean altitude of 3.5 km MSL; simultaneously, a very weak wave was recorded at 7 km. The lower ...
