CASES-97 project description
Cooperative Atmospheric Surface Exchange Study 1997
Summary
Observing and Modeling the effects of soil moisture on the diurnal behavoir of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer.Objectives:
The broad objectives were two-fold: a) observe and model the effects of the fair weather boundary layer's diurnal cycle, and b) begin a determination of the relationship between S-band polarized radar signals, NEXRAD radar signals, and observed rainfall. Specific CASES-97 objectives include: characterizing the PBL diurnal cycle;computing budgets of PBL heat and moisture;providing a dataset for use in models; evaluating ABLE instrumentation;testing techniques for examining mesoscale eddies; field testing new bistatic radar;roll-vortex investigations;improving WSR-88 rainfall estimation;evaluating dual-polarization rainfall estimation;determining length scales for soil moisture content.
