Synoptic Studies of Convective Systems, Frontogenesis, and Baroclinic Development

桑德斯教授将进行天气研究在三个 通过对观察结果的分析。首先是 形成有组织的深积雨云系统， 它产生了许多危险和破坏性的现象， 从大雨到龙卷风 桑德斯教授将研究 在美国境内和附近， 使用现有的每小时地图， 持续强烈的雷达回波，并使用一套特殊的 在美国中部， 特殊情况。 二是发展前沿 系统，无论是在近地面和高对流层 程度. 桑德斯教授将研究一种倾斜滚动的形式 循环，往往发展的过程的一部分， 锋面形成，并负责线的大雨 降水量很少， 饱和的干燥空气层 第三个是进一步的 研究近地面气旋风暴的发展。 无论是最初的形成高空和后来的影响， 低水平的事件将被审查。

Professor Sanders will conduct synoptic research in three areas through analysis of observations. The first is the development of organized systems of deep cumulonimbus clouds, which produce many dangerous and damaging phenomena ranging from heavy rain to tornadoes. Professor Sanders will study where, when, and why they form, in and near the United States, using existing hourly maps over two to three years of persistent intense radar echoes, and using a special set of sounding and other data in the central United States for a particular case. The second is the development of frontal systems, both near the surface and in the higher tropospheric levels. Professor Sanders will look at a form of sloping roll circulation that often develops as part of the process of frontal formation and is responsible for lines of heavy rainfall with little precipitation between and for alternating vertical layers of saturated and very dry air. The third is a further study of the development of cyclonic storms near the surface. Both the initial formation aloft and the later influence on events at low levels will be examined.
