Under this award, Dr. Barcilon will continue research aimed at understanding the interaction between the largest (planetary scale) atmospheric wave patterns and "weather system" (synoptic scale) waves. It is primarily the energy transfers between these waves that governs the evolution of weather regimes in the midlatitudes. The principal investigator will employ a simple, two-layer model to explore the effects of topography and horizontal wind shear on the flow. Better understanding of these dynamical processes is essential if improvements are to be realized in medium and extended range prediction.

根据该奖项，Barcilon 博士将继续研究旨在了解最大（行星尺度）大气波动模式与“天气系统”（天气尺度）波动之间的相互作用。 主要是这些波之间的能量转移控制着中纬度地区天气状况的演变。 首席研究员将采用一个简单的两层模型来探索地形和水平风切变对流动的影响。 如果要实现中程和扩展范围预测的改进，更好地理解这些动态过程至关重要。
