This research will provide critical operational support and related scientific applications for TOGA/COARE using McIDAS (Man- computer Interactive Data Access System) workstations. The TOGA/COARE Intensive Observing Period (IOP) will take place in a data sparse region of the far Western Tropical Pacific from November 92 through February 93. TOGA/COARE must rely on satellite imagery and global circulation model (GCM) analyses and forecasts for making daily operational decisions during the IOP. McIDAS is the most advanced tool for synthesizing satellite imagery with thermodynamic and dynamic fields anlayzed by GCM and and regional models. As part of this project, scientific and logistic support will be provided during the IOP with two dedicated McIDAS workstations. Most data will be obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology McIDAS in Australia with some additions from the Wisconsin McIDAS through Internet. McIDAS workstations will be placed at two key locations: the COARE Operations Center in Townsville, Queensland, Australia and in Honiara, Guadacanal, Solomon Islands, where critical operational decisions will be made. Besides providing all available data, analyses, and forecasts during the IOP, this project includes a series of pre-IOP and past IOP studies. The pre-IOP study will compare GCM analyses and forecasts to satellite imagery from the year before COARE to evaluate the models and assess forecasting skill. The past IOP study will focus on summarizing the weather and cloud events of the IOP and completing the GCM evaluations begun in the pre-IOP. The comparisons of analyses and model forecasts made during the IOP.

这项研究将使用MCIDAS（MAN-Computer Interlective Data访问系统）工作站为Toga/Coare提供关键的操作支持和相关的科学应用。 TOGA/COARE密集观察期（IOP）将于92年11月92日至2月93日在远西方热带太平洋的数据稀疏区域进行。TOGA/COARE必须依靠卫星图像和全球循环模型（GCM）分析（GCM）分析，并预测在IOP期间进行日常操作。 MCIDAS是将卫星图像与热力学和动态场合成的最先进的工具，并由GCM和区域模型缠绕。 作为该项目的一部分，在IOP期间将提供两个专用的MCIDAS工作站。 大多数数据将从澳大利亚气象学局获得，并通过互联网获得威斯康星州MCIDAS的一些增加。 MCIDAS工作站将放置在两个关键地点：位于昆士兰州汤斯维尔的Coare运营中心以及所罗门群岛的瓜达卡纳尔的霍尼亚拉，在那里将做出重要的运营决策。 除了在IOP期间提供所有可用的数据，分析和预测外，该项目还包括一系列IOP和过去的IOP研究。 IOP前研究将比较GCM分析和预测与Coare前一年的卫星图像进行比较，以评估模型并评估预测技能。 过去的IOP研究将集中于总结IOP的天气和云事件，并完成IOP中开始的GCM评估。 在IOP期间进行的分析和模型预测的比较。
