Study of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Turbulence Processesin the Tropics, Dispersion Parameters Experiments, Award in U.S. and Indian Currencies

目标：该项目允许Sethu拉曼博士 北卡罗来纳州地球与大气科学系 罗利大学和大气中心的M. P.辛格博士 印度新德里印度理工学院科学系， 继续合作研究数值天气 预测和空气污染。 工作将继续进行1。 发展一个区域天气预报模式， 短期季风事件，2.风暴潮预报，3。季风 边界层过程和4.大气污染. 在此强调 将研究大气湍流和扩散。 边界层物理参数化方案的改进 积云加热将被纳入区域尺度 模型沿着动态初始化方案。 范围：两个团队一直在以下领域合作： 数值天气预报多年来， 对两国都有好处， 发表在国际期刊上。 这两位科学家 在印度进行实验并获得 这些重要数据可能不容易获得，因此， 这项研究可能会对美国的科学家有益。 美国 资金：该项目得到两项赠款的支持： 1. 北卡罗来纳州州立大学 FY90 25，993美元加31.200印度卢比 FY91 32，466美元加上44，500印度卢比 FY92 25，993美元加上31，200印度卢比 2. 印度理工学院新德里： FY90 115,882印度卢比

Objectives: This project allows Dr. Sethu Raman of the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciencs, 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
