Numerical, Diagnostic, and Climatological Studies of the Dynamics and Prediction of Mesoscale Weather Systems

要确定的四个具体目标是：（1）作用 融化和云层下蒸发的过程中， 对流层倒槽，（2）地面通量的影响， 融化，以及结构上的低对流层蒸发， 环流，和放大的涡旋轴承中尺度 对流系统，（3）大尺度之间的差异 经历众多中尺度的区域环境 对流复合体（MCC）和其他环境 对流活跃区，MCC很少发生，以及（4） 监控化学品的全球特征及其对全球气候变化的贡献 水文循环 PI希望了解如何 中尺度云和降水过程相互作用， #21453;，并改变其大环境。

The four specific objectives to be defined are: (1) the role of melting and subcloud layer evaporation in the creation of lower tropospheric inverted troughs, (2) the effects of surface fluxes, melting, and lower tropospheric evaporation on the structure, circulation, and amplification of a vortex-bearing mesoscale convective system, (3) the differences between the large scale environment of regions that experience numerous mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) and the environment of other convectively-active regions where MCCs rarely occur, and (4) the global characteristics of MCCs and their contribution to the global hydrologic cycle. The PIs expect to provide understanding of how mesoscale cloud and precipitation processes interact with, contribute to, and change their large scale environment.//
