Figure 5

Comparison of the simulated and observed jet characteristics (without accounting of condensation heat), initiated at an altitude of 1595 m above sea level during trial field experiment on Jebel Jais Mountain of UAE on March 17, 2021. Wind speed (a) and direction (b) measured by Lidar Halo Photonics Streamline XR; temperature (c) and specific humidity (d) profiles measured by microwave radiometer RPG HATPRO-G4; Simulated jet shape (e); combined thermal images of jet (f) measured by infrared scanning thermograph IRTIS-2000C at 3 viewing angles; Visual images by GoPro Hero-9 Camera (g,h).
