Abilities and limitations of a radar RASS wind profiler for the measurement of momentum flux in the planetary boundary layer

A radar wind profiler was used in the RASS mode to obtain remote measurements of the vertical flux of momentum. Time series of half-hour averaged values of the momentum flux are presented as well as profiles of multiple-hour averages recorded on convective summer days. The gross structure of the diu...
