Abstract: Measurements of the structure of dry convection over an isolated mountain range heated by the sun are presented. Filter techniques are used to deduce those scales of motion of significance to the circulation. A two-scale ...

Abstract: Apparent mass, moisture and energy sources associated with individual cumulus congestus and thunderstorm clouds are measured using an instrumented aircraft. The results for thunderstorms are similar to those obtained by ...

Abstract: Convection and cloud formation over mountains during weak winds and strong insolation were studied using an instrumented aircraft. Previous studies in cloudless situations had shown the existence of convergence over the ...
