Precipitation Structure of Mesoscale Convective Systems

雷暴集合称为中尺度对流 系统（MCS）已被证明是重要的， 了解各种气象现象。 MCSs 带来了有益的范围以及恶劣的天气， 是重新分配热量的重要管道， 大气中的水分。 首席研究员将继续研究 MCSs的动力学结构及其相互关系 结构降水生产和更大规模的 环境 这项观察性研究将包括来自 以前在中纬度地区进行的实地项目 （俄克拉荷马州堪萨斯州风暴初步区域实验）和 热带（全球大气研究计划大西洋 热带实验）。

Collection of thunderstorms know as mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) have been shown to be important to the understanding of a wide range of meteorological phenomena. MCSs bring beneficial range as well as severe weather and are believed to be important conduits for the redistribution of heat and moisture in the atmosphere. The Principal Investigator will continue her studies of the dynamical structures of MCSs and the relationship of these structures to precipitation production and to the larger-scale environment. This observational study will include data from previously held field programs in the mid-latitudes (Oklahoma-Kansas Preliminary Regional Experiment for STORM) and the tropics (Global Atmospheric Research Program Atlantic Tropical Experiment).
