Eddy turbulence parameters inferred from radar observations at Jicamarca
Significant electron density striations, neutral temperatures 27 K above nominal, and intense wind shear were observed in the E-region ionosphere over the Jicamarca Radio Observatory during an unusual event on 26 July 2005 (Hysell et al., 2007). In this paper, these results are used to estimate eddy turbulence parameters and their effects. Models for the thermal balance in the mesosphere/lower ...
متن کاملConditional inversion to estimate parameters from eddy-flux observations
Aims Data assimilation is a useful tool to extract information from large datasets of the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 obtained by eddy-flux measurements. However, the number of parameters in ecosystem models that can be constrained by eddy-flux data is limited by conventional inverse analysis that estimates parameter values based on one-time inversion. This study aimed to improve data a...
متن کاملThe Coupling of Gravity Waves and Turbulence at White Sands, New Mexico, from VHF Radar Observations
Doppler spectra taken with the VHF Doppler radar at White Sands Missile Range are used to describe the winds and turbulence for 10 days in March-April 1991. The large power aperture product of this radar provides excellent data coverage in 150-m layers over the entire height range used, about 5-20 km. The results show that gravity-wave activity and small-scale turbulence are significantly enhan...
متن کاملObservations of meteor-head echoes using the Jicamarca 50 MHz radar in interferometer mode
We present results of recent observations of meteor-head echoes obtained with the high-power largeaperture Jicamarca 50 MHz radar (11.95 S, 76.87 W) in an interferometric mode. The large power-aperture of the system allows us to record more than 3000 meteors per hour in the small volume subtended by the 1 antenna beam, albeit when the cluttering equatorial electrojet (EEJ) echoes are not presen...
متن کاملMST Radar Observations of Gravity Waves and Turbulence near Thunderstorms
The effect of deep convection on the intensities of gravity waves and turbulence during the summer at White Sands, New Mexico, is investigated using 50-MHz mesosphere–stratosphere–troposphere (MST) radar observations and surface weather reports. Radar data taken at 3-min intervals from the summers of 1991 through 1996 (with occasional gaps of varying length) are used to construct hourly means, ...
