Kinematics of the Low-Level Jet

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1968
Abstract Winds and vertical velocities are examined in ten southerly low-level jets and then averaged in coordinate systems centered on the jet. The jet at 0600 CST is strongly supergeostrophic but is reflected in both geostrophic and ageostrophic components of the wind. Air is typically rising downstream from the wind maximum and sinking just upstream

Development of Low-Level Jets during TAMEX

Monthly Weather Review, 1995
Abstract Detailed synoptic-scale map analysis and diagnosis for all six low-level jet (LLJ) cases that occurred during the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX) were made to study the structure and the development of the LLJs. It was shown that the development of these LLJs was closely linked to the development of a lee trough to the cast of the ...

Features of the Caribbean low level jet

International Journal of Climatology, 2007
AbstractThe Caribbean Low Level Jet (CLLJ) is shown to be a real and dominant climatological feature of the early summer Caribbean climate. It manifests as an intensification in the trade winds in the western Caribbean basin (70°W–80°W) with an east‐west axis along 15°N.

A LOW-LEVEL JET IN THE TROPICS

Monthly Weather Review, 1971
Abstract A temporary mesoscale network of pilot balloon stations on a tropical island (Barbados, West Indies) revealed the existence of a low-level jet at 700 m above mean sea level, with a maximum wind near 40 m/s and a duration of at least 2 hr. The phenomenon appears to be associated with the Venturi effect produced in the low levels by a traveling ...

Some aspects of modelling low-level jets

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1988
An improved non-stationary two-layer model is presented for the simulation of wind speed maxima in the nocturnal boundary layer. The model is based on the idea of Blackadar (1957), who proposed as forcing mechanism an inertial oscillation of the ageostrophic component of the wind vector in the levels above the top of the nocturnal radiation inversion ...

The Koorin nocturnal low-level jet

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1985
It has been long known by Australian meteorologists that a nocturnal jet is a frequent feature of the low-level wind profile at Daly Waters in the Northern Territory of Australia. The Koorin Expedition during the southern winter of 1974 obtained data on wind and temperature profiles in the boundary layer which form an ideal base for the study of this ...
