Renewable Energy, 1991, vol. 1, issue 1, 77-89

Abstract: A three-axial acoustic sounder with doppler wind measurements capability has been successfully operated to detect anabatic and katabatic winds in a mountainous and lake-locked region of northern Sweden, Abisko (68°20'N, 18°50'E) between 1 and 2 April 1983. While the flow was predominantly katabatic, two types of anabatic flows were detected: 1.(a) an intermittent type resulting from the action of unsteady wave phenomena and2.(b) a convectively-induced type resulting from the lifting and erosion of nocturnal inversion as the boundary layer deepens following the input of solar radiation by the sun at dawn.
