Several horizontal flight segments from SESAME and
ALPEX are studied using structure functions and specral
analysis methods. Theoretical analysis of the relative
errors in structure function and correlation function in
the presence of large scale wave activity is presented. The
effect of stratification and shear on the -5/3 inertial
subrange...
The use of efficient basis functions to model and represent flows with
internal sharp velocity gradients, such as shocks or eddy microfronts, are
investigated. This is achieved by analysing artificial data, observed atmospheric
turbulence data and by the use of a Burgers' equation based spectral
model. The concept of an...
The resolution of multiple overlapped reflections is
achieved by designing inverse filters using frequency
domain deconvolution. A careful study reveals a number of
problems involving frequency domain design of spike inverse
filters. These include the presence of noise and aliasing
in both the filter response and its output resulting from...
