Gregory S. Poulos,William Blumen,David C. Fritts,Julie K. Lundquist,Jielun Sun,Sean P. Burns,Carmen J. Nappo,Robert M. Banta,Rob K. Newsom,Joan Cuxart,Enric Terradellas,Ben B. Balsley,Michael Jensen +12 more
TL;DR: The Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study-1999 (CASES-99) refers to a field experiment carried out in southeast Kansas during October 1999 and the subsequent program of investigation as discussed by the authors.

Robert M. Banta,Rob K. Newsom,Julie K. Lundquist,Yelena L. Pichugina,Richard Coulter,Larry Mahrt +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the characteristics and evolution of the low-level jet (LLJ) over southeastern Kansas during the 1999 Cooperative Surface-AtmosphereExchange Study (CASES-99) field campaign with an instrument complement consisting of ahigh-resolution Doppler lidar (HRDL), a 60 m instrumented tower, and a triangle of doppler mini-sodar/profiler combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric Disturbances that Generate Intermittent Turbulence in Nocturnal Boundary Layers
Jielun Sun,Donald H. Lenschow,Sean P. Burns,Robert M. Banta,Rob K. Newsom,Richard Coulter,Stephen J. Frasier,Turker Ince,Carmen J. Nappo,Ben B. Balsley,Michael L. Jensen,Larry Mahrt,David R. Miller,Brian Skelly +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the turbulence intermittency generated by the solitary wave and internal gravity wave, and intermittent turbulence episodes associated with pressure change and wind direction shiftsadjacent to the ground.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermittent Turbulence Associated with a Density Current Passage in the Stable Boundary Layer
Jielun Sun,Sean P. Burns,Donald H. Lenschow,Robert M. Banta,Rob K. Newsom,Richard Coulter,Stephen J. Frasier,Turker Ince,Carmen J. Nappo,Joan Cuxart,William Blumen,Xuhui Lee,Xin-Zhang Hu +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the first event, the density current and its associated intermittent turbulence, and show that the height and sequence of the localthermal and shear instabilities associated with the dynamics ofthe density current are responsible for the apparent intermittentturbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between Low-Level Jet Properties and Turbulence Kinetic Energy in the Nocturnal Stable Boundary Layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether gross properties of the low-level jet (LLJ) could be used to diagnose turbulence intensities in this subjet layer, which was computed as the ratio of the speed to the height of the jet maximum, and a jet Richardson number RiJ, averaged at 15-min intervals for 10 nights when HRDL LLJ data were available.
