| Abstract: | Windsonde data gathered over a nine-year period at three stations in the Southeast U.S. are stratified by season and by time
of observation to provide average profiles depicting the diurnal variations in low-level winds. Significant variations are
found (especially during the summer months) in wind speed, angle between wind direction and isobars, and the various terms
of the kinetic energy budget equation.
A qualitative model of the diurnal variations in planetary boundary-layer winds (over land) is developed.
From a thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Colorado State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for
the degree, Doctor of Philosophy. |
