9507987 Fu This project involves the application of state-of-the-art climate observations, especially satellite data, and simple numerical models to clarify the processes that control the amount and distribution of water vapor in the upper troposphere in the middle latitudes. Understanding these processes is critical to understanding the earth's radiation budget and the potential for global warming. The objectives of the project are to: (1) identify the main sources of and mechanisms controlling upper tropospheric water vapor in the middle latitudes, especially the relative importance of large-scale horizontal advection and vertical transport by local convection and (2) examine whether these processes are adequately represented in general circulation models. The research will contribute directly to the goals of NSF's Water and Energy - Atmospheric, Vegetative, and Earth Interactions (WEAVE) effort. The educational component of this CAREER award consists of a variety of activities involving both graduate and undergraduate students and an effort to encourage underrepresented groups, particularly women, to pursue careers in the physical sciences.***

9507987 fu这个项目涉及最先进的气候观察，尤其是卫星数据和简单的数值模型，以阐明控制中纬度上流对流层中水蒸气的数量和分布的过程。 了解这些过程对于理解地球的辐射预算和全球变暖的潜力至关重要。 该项目的目标是：（1）确定控制中纬度上对流层水蒸气的主要来源和机制，尤其是通过局部对流进行大规模水平对流和垂直传输的相对重要性，以及（2）检查这些过程是否在一般循环模型中表现得很好。 该研究将直接促进NSF的水和能源的目标 - 大气，营养和地球相互作用（编织）的工作。 该职业生涯奖的教育部分包括各种涉及研究生和本科生的活动，以及鼓励代表性不足的群体，尤其是女性，从事体育科学的职业。***
