Submit Papers for Journal Collection on Land-Atmosphere Interactions
The Doppler lidar, atop the left container, measures profiles of horizontal wind and turbulent motions in the boundary layer. The Raman lidar, to the right, delivers profiles of water vapor. Both lidars, seen at ARM’s Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory, provided critical data for the 2017 Land-Atmosphere Feedback Experiment (LAFE). Organizers of a new American…
