Linking Interregional NASA Airborne Observations of Near‐Storm Environments to Tropical Oceanic Convective Structure

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Deep tropical oceanic convection is a key component of the tropical atmosphere, with environmental moisture and vertical wind shear influencing its structure and intensity. However, attempts to generalize convection‐environment relationships across the broad‐scale tropics have produced inconsistent results, partly owing to limits of reanalysis,

Evaluation of a Decade of Methane Observations From a Tower Network in Indianapolis, Indiana

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Methane (CH4) is a critical near‐term climate mitigation target, yet urban sources remain poorly constrained. Indianapolis hosts one of the world's longest and densest urban CH4 data sets, with continuous measurements from a tall‐tower network spanning more than a decade.

Coherent Focused Lidars for Doppler Sensing of Aerosols and Wind [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Many coherent lidars are used today with aerosol targets for detailed studies of e.g., local wind speed and turbulence. Fibre-optic lidars operating near 1.5 μm dominate the wind energy market, with hundreds now installed worldwide. Here, we review some of the beam/target physics for these lidars and discuss practical problems.

Simultaneous Observations of Mesoscale Gravity Waves Over the Central US with CRRL Na Doppler Lidars and USU Temperature Mapper

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
We present the first coordinated study of a 1-h mesoscale gravity wave event detected simultaneously by a Na Doppler lidar at Boulder, CO (40.1°N, 105.2°W), and a Na Doppler lidar and an airglow temperature mapper (AMTM) at Logan, UT (41.7°N, 111.8°W) in

All-Fiber Airborne Coherent Doppler Lidar to Measure Wind Profiles

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
An all-fiber airborne pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (CDL) prototype at 1.54μm is developed to measure wind profiles in the lower troposphere layer. The all-fiber single frequency pulsed laser is operated with pulse energy of 300μJ, pulse width of 400ns ...

Improving Maryland’s Offshore Wind Energy Resource Estimate Using Doppler Wind Lidar Technology to Assess Microtmeteorology Controls

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
There is enormous potential to harness the kinetic energy of offshore wind and produce power. However significant uncertainties are introduced in the offshore wind resource assessment process, due in part to limited observational networks and a poor ...

Real Time Turbulence Estimation Using Doppler Lidar Measurements

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
A preliminary work on a new way to estimate atmospheric turbulence using high-frequency Doppler lidar measurements is presented. The turbulence estimations are based on wind reconstruction using 3D Doppler lidar observations and a particle filter.
