This report on nocturnal drainage winds (flows) in the Anderson Creek valley of northern California represents the results of a multilaboratory effort for a Department of Energy program known as Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain (ASCOT). Conducted in July 1979, its purposes were to gain insight into the characteristics of drainage winds and to obtain logistical experience for a more comprehensive series of experiments planned for September 1980. The data listings include measurements from acoustic sounders, meteorological towers, pilot balloons, tethersondes, temperature and wind surveys, lasers and optical anemometry, and neutral-lift balloon, smoke, and fluorescent-particle releases.
