Investigation of the turbulent structure of a cloud-capped mixed layer using Doppler radar

A new method for retrieving air velocity fluctuations in the cloud-capped boundary layer (BL) using radar reflectivity and the Doppler velocity fields is proposed. The method was developed on the basis of data obtained by the Transportable Atmospheric Radar (TARA) located in Cabauw, Netherlands, at 0500–0812 UTC 8 May 2004, and tested using a...
