Dynamical Effects of Isolated Topographic Obstacles Upon Layered Atmospheres

已经表明，大的地形特征可以具有 对大气过程的重大影响， 天气预报。 主要研究者将执行 过去大气流动的理论/数值研究 三维地形特征。 以前的工作将是 通过允许上游的非均匀性来扩展 分层和气流。 这项研究应该会导致关键的迹象， 大气因素负责各种流动特征周围 山脉，包括水流分裂、切变线的形成， 形成背风涡。

It has been shown that large topographic features can have a significant effect on atmospheric processes and hence the prediction of weather. The Principal Investigators will perform theoretical/numerical studies of atmospheric flows past three-dimensional topographical features. Previous work will be extended by allowing non-uniformity in the upstream stratification and airflow. The research should lead to indications of critical atmospheric factors responsible for various flow features around mountains including flow-splitting, formation of shearlines and generation of lee vortices.
