Nocturnal Low-Level Jet Characteristics Over Kansas During Cases-99
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.

TL;DR: In this article, the initial hydrocarbon reactivity in petrochemical source plumes in the Houston, TX, metropolitan area is primarily due to routine emissions of the alkenes propene and ethene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulence Regimes and Turbulence Intermittency in the Stable Boundary Layer during CASES-99
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated nocturnal intermittent turbulence during the Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study in 1999 (CASES-99) and revealed three turbulence regimes at each observation height: 1) regime 1, a weak turbulence regime when the wind speed is less than a threshold value; 2) regime 2, a strong turbulence regime with wind speed exceeding the threshold value.
