OSTI ID:6967590
Since 1978 the United States Department of Energy's Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain program has conducted research fundamental to a better understanding of atmospheric transport and diffusion in complex topographies. Expertise in atmospheric physics theory, computer modeling, laboratory modeling, and field experimentation have been integrated into a balanced program. The initial emphases of the research were on nocturnal drainage winds, the effect terrain has on them, and their interactions with external flows. Highlights of some physical concepts of nocturnal drainage winds, derived mainly from the results of the field experiments, are presented. 21 references, 11 figures.
