Title: Observations of the structure and development of nocturnal slope winds

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5717641

This paper presents the slope flow data at an intermediate stage of analysis. Work is continuing on both the Cobb Mountain and Rattlesnake data. The Unit 19 data will be compared to the less-detailed wind and temperature data from other locations in order to obtain a more general picture of both the slope flow and the resulting drainage flow during the 1980 Geysers field study. In addition, during the summer of 1981 new data are being collected at the Rattlesnake site with an expanded array of instrumentation, including both wind and temperature profiles at site A and a fast-response anemometer for detailed turbulence measurements at site B.
