Eddy Dissipation Rates in Thunderstorms Estimated by Doppler Radar in Relation to Aircraft In Situ Measurements

Eddy Dissipation Rates in Thunderstorms Estimated by Doppler Radar in Relation to Aircraft In Situ Measurements

High-resolution aircraft turbulence measurements, well coordinated with radar Doppler spectral wideth measurements, have been used to verify radar-estimated energy dissipation rates within thunderstorms anvils. The radar-estimated eddy dissipation rates have been carefully interpolated in time and s...

Zusammenfassung:High-resolution aircraft turbulence measurements, well coordinated with radar Doppler spectral wideth measurements, have been used to verify radar-estimated energy dissipation rates within thunderstorms anvils. The radar-estimated eddy dissipation rates have been carefully interpolated in time and space to the aircraft position.
