Study of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Turbulence Processesin the Tropics, Dispersion Parameters Experiments, Award in Indian Currency

目标：该项目允许北卡罗来纳州立大学罗利分校地球和大气科学系的Sthu Raman博士和印度新德里印度理工学院大气科学中心的M.P.Singh博士继续在数值天气预报和空气污染研究方面进行合作。将继续开展以下方面的工作：1.发展区域天气预报模式以预报短期季风事件；2.风暴潮预报；3.季风边界层过程；4.空气污染。这项研究的重点将是大气湍流和扩散。改进的边界层物理和积云加热参数化方案将与动力学初始化方案一起纳入区域尺度模式。范围：两个团队在数值天气预报领域合作了几年，对两国都有相当大的好处，并在国际期刊上发表了重要出版物。这两位科学家在印度拥有强大的支持，因为他们进行了实验，并获得了其他方式可能无法随时获得的重要数据，因此，这项研究可能会对美国的科学家有所裨益。资助：1.北卡罗来纳州立大学90财年25,993美元外加31.200美元印度卢比91财年32,466美元外加32,466美元印度卢比44,500美元92财年25,993美元外加31,200美元2.印度理工学院新德里：1990财年：115,882美元(印度卢比)

Objectives: This project allows Dr. Sethu Raman of the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, and Dr. M.P. Singh, Center of Atmospheric Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India, to continue collaboration in the study of numerical weather prediction and air pollution. Work will continue on 1. development of a regional weather prediction model to predict short range monsoon events, 2. storm surge prediction, 3. monsoon boundary layer processes and 4. air pollution. Emphasis in this research will be on atomospheric turbulence and diffusion. Improved parameterization schemes for boundary layer physics and cumulus heating will be incorporated into the regional scale model along with a dynamics initialization scheme. Scope: The two teams have been collaborating in the field of numerical weather prediction for several years with considerable benefit to both countries and with significant publications published in international journals. The two scientists have strong backing in India for conducting experiments and obtaining important data that may not be readily available otherwise, thus the research is likely to be of benefit to the scientists in the U.S. Funding: This project is being supported under two grants: 1. North Carolina State University FY90 U.S. $25,993 plus $31.200 in Indian rupees FY91 U.S. $32,466 plus $44,500 in Indian rupees FY92 U.S. $25,993 plus $31,200 in Indian rupees 2. Indian Institute of Technology New Delhi: FY90 $115,882 in Indian rupees
