Figure 5. Nearly-horizontal azimuth scans from lidar showing:
(a), (b): 7-8 m s-1 outflow jet from Pitt Lake valley; (c), (d) rapidly changing
flow pattern between 0100 and 0230 PST; (e) return to nocturnal outflow pattern;
and (f) typical afternoon flow into tributary valley the next day. Greens and blues
(negative values) indicate flow toward the lidar; yellows, browns, and reds
(positive) are away. North is up, and range rings at 5 km. H marks the Harris Road
site, the lidar is in the center at L, and M and N show the locations of two
mountain ranges intercepted by the lidar
(see map, Fig. 1).
