A Modelling and Observational Study of Colorado Front Range Winter Storms

大雪是最具破坏性的天气现象之一。美国联邦航空管理局和国家科学基金会将于1991年冬季举行一项名为冬季结冰和风暴项目的联合计划。该计划的目标包括研究暴风雪。首席调查员将参与这一计划，并将使用观测和数值模拟研究来确定对确定大雪的时间和地点至关重要的动力和微物理因素。如果成功，这项研究可能会导致对这些破坏性事件的更好预测。

Heavy snowfalls are among the most disruptive of weather phenomena. A joint program between the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Science Foundation entitled the Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP) will be held in the winter of 1991. The objectives of this program include the study of snowstorms. The Principal Investigator will participate in this program and will use both observational and numerical modelling studies to determine the dynamical and microphysical factors that are important in determining the timing and location of heavy snowfalls. If successful, this research may lead to better forecast of these disruptive events.
