The Influence of Mountains on the Atmosphere

[03:38 . 25]史密斯众所周知，地形对大气运动有重要的影响。人们认为，无论数值预测模式的重点是气候、天气、区域还是当地天气，都必须适当地将山脉的影响纳入其中。在之前关于这一课题的研究中，首席研究员在推进山脉周围大气流动及其对大气影响的基础知识方面发挥了重要作用。首席研究员将尝试确定三维层流山波流和带耗散和尾迹的山波流之间过渡的性质。利用数值模型和观测研究，首席研究员将进一步细化不同大气流动在山区附近发生的条件。＊＊＊

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. ***
