Abstract

The life cycle of a bore event has been sampled on 20 June 2002 in the framework of the International' H 2O Project (IHOP_2002) by 2 aircraft (one equipped for launching dropsondes and one flying the water vapor differential absorption lidar LEANDRE 2) and a number of ground-based facilities (including the S-POL radar and other profiling instruments), located in the lower Oklahoma panhandle. This case offers the opportunity to examine the evolution of a gravity current into a bore, then a soliton, and its dissipation.
