MESOSCALE STUDIES OF INSTABILITY PATTERNS AND WINDS IN THE TROPICS.
Abstract
Fluctuations in 10-cm radar video from a diffuse angel pattern on the evening of 20 October 1967 are analyzed using spectral techniques. Time and range variations in the fluctuations from resolution cell samples along an azimuth of 288 degrees from Miami indicate wave motions along the beam. These motions are described. It is concluded that this type of angel provides a convenient tracer for short-period atmospheric waves. Preparations for data collection during the summer of 1968 are described. Along with making extensive modifications on our radar system, we have added a satellite ground station to the facility. A brief description of the ground station, its capability and plans for use are given. (Author)
