Diurnal mountain wind systems are local thermally driven wind systems that form over
mountainous terrain and are produced by the buoyancy effects associated with the diurnal …

Coupling of the earth's surface with the atmosphere is achieved through an exchange of
momentum, energy, and mass in the atmospheric boundary layer. In mountainous terrain …

The lichen woodland (LW) is an open-crown subarctic forest distributed principally in North
America where it extends from Newfoundland in Atlantic Canada to the Yukon and Alaska. It …

A daily high-resolution gridded climatic data set is presented for Emilia-Romagna, Italy,
covering the period 1961–2010. Time series of precipitation and temperatures, from 254 and …

The evolution of the lower portion of the planetary boundary layer is investigated using the
Small Multifunction Research and Teaching Sonde (SMARTSonde), an unmanned aerial …

The building of utility-scale wind farms requires knowledge of the wind speed climatology at
hub height (typically 80–100 m). As most wind speed measurements are taken at 10 m …

Several errors occur when a traditional Doppler beam swinging (DBS) or velocity–azimuth
display (VAD) strategy is used to measure turbulence with a lidar. To mitigate some of these …

A 100 m resolution simulation of radiation fog observed during the Local And Non‐local Fog
EXperiment (LANFEX) was performed over the Shropshire hills (UK) in order to understand …

The paper reviews recent advances in our understanding about the dynamics of thermally
driven winds over slo** terrain. Major progress from recent experiments, both in the field …

For the near-calm stable boundary layer, nominally 2-m mean wind speed< 0.5 ms− 1, the
time-average turbulent flux is dominated by infrequent mixing events. These events are …
