Flow in a stably stratified environment is characterized by anisotropic and intermittent
turbulence and wavelike motions of varying amplitudes and periods. Understanding …

A review of turbulence measurements using ground-based wind lidars is carried out. Works
performed in the last 30 yr, ie, from 1972–2012 are analyzed. More than 80% of the work …

A field experiment was conducted in Tianjin, China from September 9–30, 2010, focused on
the evolution of Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) and its impact on surface air pollutants. The …

The atmospheric boundary layer mediates the exchange of energy, matter, and momentum
between the land surface and the free troposphere, integrating a range of physical …

First results are presented of 18 months' experience with a microwave profiler that has been
in operation in an unattended mode. Profiles of temperature and water vapor were retrieved …

In the present study, the feasibility of nowcasting convective activity is examined by using
thermodynamic indices derived from the ground‐based microwave radiometer (MWR) …

The dynamic complexity and the limited spatiotemporal structure of thunderstorms make the
collection of reliable and systematic measurements of this phenomenon, which are definitely …

Observations from a 94-GHz radar are used to define the vertical structure of marine fair-
weather cumuli. Doppler spectra obtained from the radar provide mean vertical velocities as …

In this study, air pollutants, including ozone (O3), nitrogen oxides (NOx= NO+ NO2), carbon
monoxides (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measured in …

Coherent Doppler lidar measurements of wind statistics in the boundary layer are presented.
The effects of the spatial averaging by the lidar pulse are removed using theoretical …
