Investigations of Tornadogenesis, Convection Initiation and the Evolution of the Convective Boundary Layer

许多气象现象得到控制和/或 受对流边界层物理学的影响。 期间 对流和降水/带电实验（CaPE） 1991年在佛罗里达举行， 气象仪器被用于各种 包括边界层在内的气象问题。 使用来自CaPE的数据，主要研究者将 进行研究，目标如下： 水龙卷与多普勒雷达和云摄影测量;详细 以天气流为重点的海风现象分析 区域、沿着锋变化和对流启动;演变 在边界内形成的水平对流卷 加强云沿着滚变化层 发展;分析对流启动造成的 两个边界的碰撞;按顺序分析气团风暴 评估一个广义雷暴概念的一般性 这是一个由首席研究员最近提出的模型。

Many meteorological phenomenon are controlled and/or influenced by the physics of the convective boundary layer. During the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment (CaPE) held in Florida in 1991, a collection of very advanced meteorological instrumentation was brought to bear on a variety of meteorological problems including those of the boundary layer. Using data from the CaPE, the Principal Investigator will conduct research with the following five objectives: study of a waterspout with Doppler radar and cloud photogrammetry; detailed analysis of the sea breeze phenomena with emphasis on synoptic flow regime, along front variation and convective initiation; evolution of horizontal convective rolls that develop within the boundary layer with emphasis on along roll variation of enhanced cloud development; analysis of convective initiation resulting from the collision of two boundaries; analysis of air mass storms in order toe assess the generality of a generalized thunderstorm conceptual model recently proposed by the Principal Investigator.
