Meso- and microscale features of a Colorado cold front.

Abstract

Data from the NOAA BAO (Boulder Atmospheric Observatory) tower and the PROFS (Program for Regional Observing and Forecasting Services) surface mesonetwork have been used to detect the meso- and microscale flow patterns associated with the passage of a shallow cold front over complex terrain. This front moved across the PROFS surface mesonetwork and the BAO tower site on the morning of 3 December 1981. -from Authors
