9522660 Vonder Haar 俄克拉荷马大学风暴分析和预测中心 (CAPS) 是 NSF 的科学技术中心之一。 CAPS 的目标是为改进强对流天气的短期（24 小时以内）预报奠定科学基础。 科罗拉多州立大学的这个项目的目的是与 CAPS 科学家合作，根据俄克拉荷马州对国家海洋和大气管理局开发的局部区域预测系统的适应情况，进行高质量的网格分析。 这些网格分析将被 CAPS 科学家用于对流现象的诊断研究；作为高分辨率多普勒检索程序的背景场；作为高分辨率数值模型和四维数据同化程序的初始条件，以测试 CAPS 高级区域预测系统的能力。 此外，这些网格分析将被各种科学家用于恶劣天气的研究。 ***

9522660 Vonder Haar The Center for the Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS) at the University of Oklahoma is one of the NSF s Science and Technology Centers. The goal of CAPS is to develop the scientific basis for the improvement of short term forecasts (less than 24 hours) of severe convective weather. The purpose of this project from the Colorado State University is to work in conjunction with CAPS scientists to produce high-quality, gridded analyses from the Oklahoma adaptation of the local area prediction system developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These gridded analyses will be used by CAPS scientists in diagnostic studies of convective phenomena; as background fields for high-resolution Doppler-retrieval procedures; as initial conditions for high-resolution numerical models and four-dimensional data assimilation procedures in order to test the capabilities of the CAPS Advanced Regional Prediction System. Additionally, these gridded analyses will be used by a variety of scientists in the study of severe weather. ***
