The Influence of Mountains on the Atmosphere

小行星9303825 众所周知，地形对大气运动有重要影响。 人们认为，无论数值预报模型侧重于气候、天气、区域还是地方天气，都必须适当地将山脉的影响包括在内。 在以前关于这一主题的研究中，首席研究员在推进山脉周围大气流动的基础知识以及这些流动对大气的影响方面发挥了重要作用。 主要研究者将试图确定三维层流山波流和具有耗散和尾流的山流之间的过渡性质。 利用数值模型和观测研究，首席研究员将进一步完善山脉附近发生不同大气流动的条件。 ***

9303825 Smith It is known that orography exerts an important influence on atmospheric motions. It is considered to be crucial that the effects of mountains be properly included in numerical prediction models whether they focus on climate, synoptic, regional or local weather. In previous research on this topic, the Principal Investigator has been instrumental in advancing fundamental knowledge of atmospheric flows around mountains and the influence of these flows on the atmosphere. The Principal Investigator will attempt to determine the nature of the transition between three-dimensional laminar mountain wave flows and mountain flows with dissipation and wakes. Using numerical models and observational studies, the Principal Investigator will further refine the conditions under which different atmospheric flows occur near mountains. ***
