Abstract. This paper analyzes
the mean wind speed variations inside the atmospheric boundary layer and in the
free troposphere based on data from vertical sounding of the atmosphere using
SODAR and radiosonde data. The variation of the mean wind speed inside and outside
of the atmospheric boundary layer were analyzed using data collected during
warnings of convective storms, but also 12 hours before and after the alerts.
The resulting data are important in understanding the way the wind behaves in
the atmospheric boundary layer and the free troposphere before, during and
after convective events.
Keywords: wind, boundary layer, sodar, radiosonde
