Retrieval of convective boundary layer wind field statistics from radar profiler measurements in conjunction with large eddy simulation

The daytime convective boundary layer (CBL) is characterized by strong turbulence that is primarily forced by buoyancy transport from the heated underlying surface. The present study focuses on an example of flow structure of the CBL as observed in the U.S. Great Plains on June 8, 2007. The consider...
