Underwood, K H; Coulter, R L

The capability of Acoustic Doppler Radars or sodars to describe local vertical velocity statistics was evaluated. Sodar was used to monitor the local vertical velocity field to altitudes of 1000 meters in an attempt to study the vertical velocity field associated with cloud formation, maintenance and decay. 5 reference, 6 figures.
