The South American Low-Level Jet Experiment

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2006
Abstract Moisture is transported in South America westward from the tropical Atlantic Ocean to the Amazon basin, and then southward toward the extratropics. A regional intensification of this circulation to the east of the Andes Mountains is called the South American low-level jet (SALLJ), with the strongest winds found over eastern Bolivia.

Composite hodographs and inertial oscillations in the nocturnal boundary layer

, 2011
In this work the dynamic behaviour of the wind in the nocturnal boundary layer is studied, with a particular focus on systematic behaviour of the near-surface wind.

EFD-P(13)53 Overview of Image Processing Tools to Extract Physical Information from JET Videos

, 2013
In Magnetic Confinement Nuclear Fusion devices such as JET, the last years have witnessed a significant increase of the use of digital imagery, not only for the surveying and control of the experiments, but also for the physical interpretation of results.

Low‐Level Baroclinic Jets Over the New Arctic Ocean [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2018
AbstractDuring the Sea State cruise in the fall of 2015, in the Chukchi/Beaufort Sea region, there were five strong (>10 m s−1) surface wind events associated with low‐level atmospheric jets. These jets were analyzed using rawinsonde observations, ship measurements, and a numerical forecast model.

Jet mixing of water in crude oil pipelines [PDF]

, 1990
The jet mixing of water in crude oil pipelines by single nozzle and multi-nozzle mixers was studied by dividing the mixing domain into to three regions. the penetration. near field and farfield regions.

Lateral jet interaction with a supersonic crossflow [PDF]

, 2010
A lateral jet in a supersonic crossflow creates a highly complex three-dimensional flow field which is not easily predicted. The aim of this research was to assess the use of a RANS based CFD method to simulate a lateral jet in supersonic crossflow ...

Winter and Summer Structure of the Caribbean Low-Level Jet [PDF]

Journal of Climate, 2008
Abstract The Caribbean region shows maxima in easterly winds greater than 12 m s−1 at 925 hPa in July and February, herein referred to as the summer and winter Caribbean low-level jet (LLJ), respectively. It is important to understand the controls and influences of the Caribbean LLJ because other LLJs have been observed to be related to ...

Multiscale analyses of moisture transport by the central plains lowlevel jet during IHOP

, 2004
During the International H2O Project (IHOP) in the Southern U.S. Central Plains in May and June 2002, aircraft missions on June 3 and June 9 2002 made detailed lidar and dropsonde observations of intense phases of the low-level jet (LLJ) . Combined with

A Climatology of Nocturnal Low-Level Jets at Cabauw

Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2009
Abstract A climatology of nocturnal low-level jets (LLJs) is presented for the topographically flat measurement site at Cabauw, the Netherlands. LLJ characteristics are derived from a 7-yr half-hourly database of wind speed profiles, obtained from the 200-m mast and a wind profiler.
