Been looking for imagery showing the spatial variation in peak gusts at low elevation over very localized areas (so a very high spatial resolution dataset at quite low elevation). Would love to find dual doppler analysis from mobile radars, perhaps verified with observations (if a micronet like TTU Stick Nets and platforms were involved, great).
I believe it would be helpful in gaining a picture of how much variation there is in the windfield in intense cyclones even beyond the obvious complexities obstructions/roughness length bring to the very lowest handful of meters (though I'd be quite interested in having a graphic that can quickly show that too) Even if it's for non-tropical widespread events like squall lines/derechos, it would be helpful to have. I've found there's often a lot of confusion and frustration after tropical cyclone events of "it wasn't nearly as bad for me" or "I had much stronger than that value reported". I did a cursory look in journals and at the TTUHRT and CSWR sites, and a few journal articles, but perhaps didn't look hard enough. Anyone either know where I can find such an image, or if nothing else, the files to build such an image myself?
