Summary For 20 years the biennial symposia organized by the International Society for Acoustic Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere and Oceans and Associated Techniques (ISARS) have been held in different countries. The original papers collected in the proceedings of the symposia reflect the development of ideas, equipment, and methods, plus results obtained in the area. The spectrum of themes discussed at the symposia is broad. More than 60% of the papers were devoted to the role of sodars in atmospheric boundary-layer research. This paper presents an overview of the development of sodar technique as elucidated in the proceedings of 11 ISARS symposia. Topics include (1) instrumentation, (2) methods of measuring different meteorological quantities and their turbulence characteristics, and (3) validating the methods by comparison of sodar data with in situ measurements. 相似文献

Turbulence structures of high Reynolds number flow in the near-neutral atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) are investigated based
on observations at Shionomisaki and Shigaraki, Japan. A Doppler sodar measured the vertical profiles of winds in the ABL.
Using the integral wavelet transform for the time series of surface wind data, the pattern of a descending high-speed structure
with large vertical extent (from the surface to more than 200-m level) is depicted from the Doppler sodar data. Essentially
this structure is a specific type of coherent structure that has been previously shown in experiments on turbulent boundary-layer
flows. Large-scale high-speed structures in the ABL are extracted using a long time scale (240 s) for the wavelet transform.
The non-dimensional interval of time between structures is evaluated as 3.0–6.2 in most cases. These structures make a large
contribution to downward momentum transfer in the surface layer. Quadrant analyses of the turbulent motion measured by the
sonic anemometer (20-m height) suggest that the sweep motion (high-speed downward motion) plays a substantial role in the
downward momentum transfer. In general, the contribution of sweep motions to the momentum flux is nearly equal to that of
ejection motions (low-speed upward motions). This contribution of sweep motions is related to the large-scale high-speed structures. 相似文献

The quality of lidar and sodar wind estimates is generally judged through comparisons with mast-mounted instruments, and the
resulting regressions. Evaluation of the relative merits of lidars versus sodars is complicated by the fact that lidars are
generally placed close to a mast whereas sodars are generally placed some distance from a mast so that acoustic reflections
off the mast are reduced. This leads to the two technologies, lidar and sodar, not being compared in similar situations. Differences
arising from the two geometries can be expected to be larger in complex terrain, where the wind regime can vary significantly
spatially. The current work explores these differences in moderately complex terrain. Lidar–mast comparisons are performed
with the lidar close to an 80 m mast, and sodar–mast comparisons performed with the sodar 300 m from the mast. Systematic
variations in estimated wind speed are found to occur with height, consistent with predictions from a simple flow model. When
the lidar was moved to the sodar location, further from the mast, there were significant changes in the estimated wind speeds
and a reduction in correlation with the mast-based wind speeds, as expected. However, the correlation between collocated lidar and sodar winds was high. This finding emphasizes that any comparison of two remote sensing instruments needs to be
through similar experiments, and that differences in accuracy often reported for the lidar and sodar technologies are likely
to be contaminated due to poor comparison configurations. A method was devised to simulate the sodar being collocated with
the mast, by using the lidar–sodar measurements and the lidar–mast measurements. It was found that there was then no statistically
detectable difference between lidar–mast regressions and sodar–mast regressions for the particular lidar and sodar tested.
Both remote sensing instruments were also found to be good estimators of Weibull parameters, as compared with those derived
from mast data. The conclusion is that the sodar measured the winds above the sodar with a similar accuracy to the lidar measuring
winds above the lidar. 相似文献

Profile data from simultaneous sodar and tethered balloon measurements have been analyzed with respect to the complex structure of the atmospheric boundary layer in the Upper Rhine Valley. Special attention was focused on ozone concentration profiles measured with a novel lightweight ozone sensor at the balloon. In general, good agreement was found between the signature of the ozone concentration profiles and special features of the backscattered sound intensity profiles. This allows reliable estimation of the mixing height from the sodar data even in a complex stable ABL, except for very shallow mixing layers (below about 75 m), which could not be detected by the sodar. 相似文献

Measurements in the atmospheric surface layer are generally made with point sensors located in the first few tens of metres.
In most cases, however, these measurements are not representative of the whole surface layer. Standard Doppler sodars allow
a continuous display of the turbulent thermal structure and wind profiles in the boundary layer up to 1000 m, with a few points,
if any, in the surface layer. To overcome these limitations a new sodar configuration is proposed that allows for a higher
resolution in the surface layer. Because of its capabilities (echo recording starting at 2 m, echo intensity vertical resolution
of approximately 2 m, temporal resolution of 1 s) this sodar is called the surface-layer mini-sodar (SLM-sodar). Features
and capabilities of the SLM-sodar are described and compared with the sodar. The comparison of the thermal vertical structure
given by the SLM-sodar and the sodar provides evidence that, in most cases, the surface layer presents a level of complexity
comparable to that of the entire boundary layer. Considering its high vertical resolution, the SLM-sodar is a promising system
for the study of the nocturnal surface layer. The nocturnal SLM-sodar measurements have shown that, depending on wind speed,
the structure of the surface layer may change substantially within a short time period. At night, when the wind speed is greater
than 3 m s−1, mechanical mixing destroys the wavy structure present in the nocturnal layer. Sonic anemometer measurements have shown that,
in such cases, also the sensible heat flux varies with height, reaching a peak in correspondence with the wind speed peak.
Under these conditions the assumption of horizontal homogeneity of the surface layer and the choice of the averaging time
need to be carefully treated. 相似文献

Surface and remote-sensing instruments deployed during ESCOMPTE experiment over the Marseille area, along the Mediterranean coast, were used to investigate the fine structure of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) during sea-breeze circulation in relation to pollutant transport and diffusion. Six sea-breeze events are analyzed with a particular focus on 25 June 2001.Advection of cool and humid marine air over land has a profound influence on the daytime ABL characteristics. This impact decreases rapidly with the inland distance from the sea. Nearby the coast (3 km inland), the mixing height Zi rises up to 750 m and falls down after 15:00 (UT) when the breeze flow reaches its maximum intensity. A more classical evolution of the ABL is observed at only 11-km inland where Zi culminates in the morning and stabilizes in the afternoon at about 1000 m height.Fine inspection of the data revealed an oscillation of the sea-breeze with a period about 2 h 47 min. This feature, clearly discernable for 3 days at least, is present in several atmospheric variables such as wind, temperature, not only at the ground but also aloft in the ABL as observed by sodar/RASS and UHF wind profilers. In particular, the mixing height Zi deduced from UHF profilers observations is affected also by the same periodicity. This pulsated sea-breeze is observed principally above Marseille and, at the northern and eastern shores of the Berre pond.In summary, the periodic intrusion over land of cool marine air modifies the structure of the ABL in the vicinity of the coast from the point of view of stability, turbulent motions and pollutants concentration. An explanation of the source of this pulsated sea-breeze is suggested. 相似文献

A complex marine experiment was conducted in autumn 1991 on the research vessel Dmitry Mendelev in association with the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX). A three-axis Doppler sodar designed at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Moscow, was used in this experiment. Total observation time was about 770 hours from 6 October to 23 November. Besides facsimile records illustrating spatial and temporal structure of the turbulence distribution in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), routine quantitative measurements of profiles of wind and echo-signal strength were taken. Some main characteristics of the ABL behavior over the ocean were revealed through an analysis of these data as well as the results of other kinds of measurements. An important peculiarity of the ABL observed between the Canary Islands and the Azores was the presence of diurnal variation of convective turbulence strength having a maximum between 04:00 and 07:00 LT. A similar diurnal variation was observed for low-level cloud cover. Occurrence of various types of thermal stratification and their diurnal variation were obtained. Comparison of elevated stable layers and low-level cumulus showed that the lower boundary of clouds correlates well with the height of the bottom of elevated inversion layers (at heights of 200–600 m). Canary and Cabo Verde observations showed that islands strongly affect the ABL structure. The strong effect of a surface water temperature gradient on the ABL stability was observed when crossing the Canary, Azores, and Labrador currents and the Gulf Stream. 相似文献

Summary ?Progress in technology as well as signal processing has promoted Wind Profiler Radar (WPR) or sodar with RASS additions to become standard tools in profiling of the atmospheric boundary layer. Apart from
these instruments’ basic abilities in profiling mean winds and temperature, this paper will give an emphasis on the profiling
of ABL height as well as the turbulent fluxes of sensible heat and momentum both, with respect to methods as well as with
respect to realization. The special focus will thereby be laid on the demands for vertical profiling, which were defined within
the LITFASS-project of the German Meteorological Service. In the frame of this project, some special measuring campaigns have
been performed where remote-sensing systems were used to assess their abilities in profiling ABL parameters. On the base of
some case studies from these campaigns comparisons are shown, where results from sodar/RASS and WPR/RASS measurements are
compared to measurements from airborne sensor systems and results from numerical models. Regarding turbulent heat fluxes,
we found excellent agreement for remotely-sensed flux profiles from WPR/RASS with both, numerical models and airborne in-situ
measurements. However, as the inherent errors of the remotely-sensed fluxes are in the order of ± 20 ⋯ 30 W/m2 typically, current signal processing does not allow to interpret small-scale vertical structures in the profiles with respect
to surface inhomogeneities yet.

The use of sodars in the study of stably stratified flows influenced by terrain is reviewed. We start with the equations of motion governing flow over inclined slopes and describe the relation between acoustic backscatter and local Richardson number. We then discuss sodar observations taken over the east Antarctic ice sheet and in a variety of complex terrain studies. These diverse observations reveal the influence of waves at periods from minutes to hours, the effects of ambient winds aiding and opposing drainage flows, complex phenomena in basin topography, and the breakup of the valley inversions with the onset of solar insolation. 相似文献

Summary This paper presents a brief synopsis of past, current and anticipated progress and problems in the use of acoustic remote
sensing for basic and applied research of the lower atmosphere. The potential and reality of the sodar for determination of
meteorological parameters and turbulence characteristics is discussed. Sodars’ place alongside other ground-based remote sensors,
including radar wind profilers, radioacoustic sounding systems (RASS) and lidars, is elucidated. Areas of atmospheric research
where Doppler sodar has certain advantages are described such as cost, sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolution and surface
layer measurements. The use of sodar in networks of integrated radar/RASS systems designed to supply uninterrupted monitoring
of atmospheric parameters for improvements in forecasts of weather and air quality is demonstrated.
The special potential role of sodar in education and training of specialists is suggested to aid in developing and using new
methods of atmospheric measurements and meeting the requirements of modern environmental science.
A number of problems are formulated whose solution would favor further advancement of acoustic remote sensing in integrated
systems for remote monitoring of the atmospheric boundary layer.

Acoustic sounder measurements of the stable boundary-layer height taken during the EPRI Plume Model Validation and Development
Project experiment are examined. Comparison of simultaneous measurements by two sodars located 15 km apart shows good agreement.
Several widely used diagnostic formulas for estimation of the boundary-layer height, based on wind speed and surface-layer
parameters, such as friction velocity and Monin-Obukhov length, are tested against the sodar data. Of these, best performance
is found using a simple linear relationship with friction velocity or, alternatively, wind speed at 10 m height. No evidence
is found to support the more often used Zilitinkevich (1972) formula. Tests using selected data from the Cabauw site in the
Netherlands confirm the results found on the basis of EPRI data. 相似文献

The present work analyzes the effect of aerosols on the evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over Shangdianzi in Beijing.A one-dimensional ABL model and a radiative transfer scheme are incorporated to develop the structure of the ABL.The diurnal variation of the atmospheric radiative budget,atmospheric heating rate,sensible and latent heat fluxes,surface and the 2 m air temperatures as well as the ABL height,and its perturbations due to the aerosols with different single-scattering albedo (SSA) are studied by comparing the aerosol-laden atmosphere to the clean atmosphere.The results show that the absorbing aerosols cause less reduction in surface evaporation relative to that by scatting aerosols,and both surface temperature and 2 m temperature decrease from the clean atmosphere to the aerosol-laden atmosphere.The greater the aerosol absorption,the more stable the surface layer.After 12:00 am,the 2 m temperature increases for strong absorption aerosols.In the meantime,there is a slight decrease in the 2 m temperature for purely scattering aerosols due to radiative cooling.The purely scattering aerosols decrease the ABL temperature and enhance the capping inversion,further reducing the ABL height. 相似文献

In the present study, an attempt is made to assess the atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) depth over an urban area, as derived
from different ABL schemes employed by the mesoscale model MM5. Furthermore, the relationship of the mixing height, as depicted
by the measurements, to the calculated ABL depth or other features of the ABL structure, is also examined. In particular,
the diurnal evolution of ABL depth is examined over the greater Athens area, employing four different ABL schemes plus a modified
version, whereby urban features are considered. Measurements for two selected days, when convective conditions prevailed and
a strong sea-breeze cell developed, were used for comparison. It was found that the calculated eddy viscosity profile seems
to better indicate the mixing height in both cases, where either a deep convective boundary layer develops, or a more confined
internal boundary layer is formed. For the urban scheme, the incorporation of both anthropogenic and storage heat release
provides promising results for urban applications. 相似文献

Evolution of some boundary-layer parameters mainly estimated with a Doppler Sodar during perturbed meteorological situation is examined during the Mesogers 84 experiment. A case study of the sodar detection of frontal evolution and the prevailing wind field is presented in conjunction with the surface network measurements. The frontal boundary-layer signature has been observed to be structured into two strong shear layers in the ABL. At the surface, several modifications of the boundary-layer parameters are noticed well in advance of the frontal onset. 相似文献

The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is characterized by the turbulence eddies that transport heat, momentum, gaseous constituents and particulate matter from Earth’s surface to the atmosphere and vice versa. Thus, the determination of its height has a great importance in a wide range of applications like air quality forecasting and management. This study aims at estimating the height of the ABL in a suburban environment and at investigating its temporal variation and its relationship with meteorological variables, like temperature and wind. For this purpose, radiosonde data from the suburban area of Thessaloniki, Greece, are analyzed. The data analysis reveals that ABL height is usually below 200 m in the morning hours during all seasons of the year and that is also low when near-surface temperature and wind speed are low too. Additionally, noon ABL height exhibits a strong seasonal variation, reaching higher values during summer than during winter.Very high values of ABL height, of the order of ~3,000 m, are occasionally observed in Thessaloniki during summer. Moreover, sea breeze development during summer is related to a slight reduction of the ABL height. 相似文献

Some characteristics of wavelike motions in the atmospheric boundary layer observed by sodar are considered. In an experiment
carried out in February 1993 in Milan, Italy, Doppler sodar measurements were accompanied by in situ measurements of temperature
and wind velocity vertical profiles using a tethered balloon up to 600 m. The oscillations of elevated wavy layers containing
intense thermal turbulence, usually associated with temperature-inversion zones, were studied by using correlation and spectral
analysis methods. The statistics of the occurrence of wavelike and temperature-inversion events are presented. The height
distributions of Brunt–Vaisala frequency and wind shear and their correlation within elevated inversion layers were determined,
with a strong correlation observed between the drift rate of the wavy layers and the vertical velocity measured by Doppler
sodar inside these layers. Spectral analysis showed similarities regarding their frequency characteristics. The phase speed
and propagation direction of waves were estimated from the time delay of the signals at three antennae to provide estimates
of wavelength. Moreover, wavelengths were estimated from the intrinsic frequency obtained from sodar measurements of the Doppler
vertical velocity and oscillations of wavy turbulent layers. The two wavelength estimates are in good agreement. 相似文献

The characteristics of wind speed and wind direction in the boundary atmospheric layer measured at the meteorological station
in Akhtopol (Bulgaria) are presented. The measurements were carried out with the Scintec sodar and MK-15 automatic meteorological
station. The sodar measurement data on wind parameters at different heights in different months are presented as well as the
frequency of inshore and offshore wind directions, that enables to trace the intensity of the breeze circulation. The frequency
of calms and wind speeds at the heights of 50, 100, and 200 m according to gradations for different months and the probability
of wind of various speeds depending on the direction are also given. The breeze front characteristics in June–September of
2009 are computed from the speed and direction of surface wind measured with the acoustic anemometer of MK-15 complex. 相似文献

A set of atmospheric general circulation model experiments were performed where the Community Atmospheric Model version 3.1 is forced with sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) that have the imprint of tropical instability waves (TIWs) of varying strengths. The presence of TIWs in the SSTs increased the variance in the large-scale circulation in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The impact of TIWs in the SST anomalies is directly seen in enhanced mixing of the air temperature anomalies, thereby diffusing the air temperature gradients setup by the oceanic fronts throughout the ABL. The presence of TIWs transformed the diffusive-natured ABL to advection-dominated regime. This implies that within the ABL, the presence of TIWs leads to the enhanced interactions among the neighboring grid cells and prompts greater horizontal communications among atmospheric variables. However, the advection in the ABL due to the TIWs is not a linear function of increasing TIW strength. Unlike air temperature, zonal, and vertical velocity, the variance in the meridional velocity changes at the top of the ABL due to the momentum mixing across the ABL in the vertical direction. This causes the ABL to be more turbulent beyond seasonal time scales. This analysis also suggests that a simple parameterization is not sufficient to take the account of rectification effects on the atmospheric variables that are missing due to the lack of TIW representation in the coarse-resolution coupled general circulation models. 相似文献
