Mesoscale Precipitation: Analysis Simulation and Forecasting Conference - MIT, Sept. 1988

会议汇集了气象学家，水文学家和 土木工程师讨论在模拟取得的进展， 中尺度或流域尺度的降水。 这次会议是一个 第一次这种性质的会议的后续行动， 1986年3月 在过去两年中， 进行了 存在新的业务中尺度降水模型;新的 降水的多维随机模型一直是 拟议;有重要的新数据集;大型 实验计划;和最近的研究结果的问题 在对流单体尺度上的聚类概念。 的 这些研究团体之间的互动是及时的， 有利于洪水预报。

The conference brings together meteorologists, hydrologists and civil engineers to discuss advances made in the simulation of precipitation at mesoscale or catchment scale. This meeting is a follow up of the first meeting of this nature that took place in March 1986. In the past two years considerable progress has been made. New operational mesoscale precipitation models exist; new multidimensional stochastic models of precipitation have been proposed; significant new data sets are available; large experiments are planned; and recent results of research question the concept of clustering at the convective cell scale. The interaction between these research communities is timely and will benefit the forecasting of floods.
