Sources and Detection of Atmospheric Wind Shear

Abstract

This paper outlines a range of phenomena producing significant atmospheric wind shears, providing more details on the shears related to thunderstorm gust fronts. A case study from a wintertime Colorado front-range experiment during 1980 documents strong wind gradients that can occur in the lees of mountains. Strengths and weaknesses of some detection methods are discussed, and evaluations of both remote-sensor and in situ sensor approaches for detecting atmospheric wind shear are emphasized.
