Abstract
Summary: A description of the Argonne Boundary Layer Experiments (ABLE) facility, located in southern Kansas, USA, to study the planetary boundary layer on a continuous basis is given. The use and role of the minisodars in these studies is shown to be important and necessary in the study of surface boundary layers, extension of wind profiles to the surface, and estimates of convergence/divergence over 50–100 km scales over this site. A description of the site and location and description of the instrument systems is given; products available through internet access are briefly described. Use of the site by cooperative investigations is also described and invited.
