Description: This award is to support a collaborative research between Drs. Sethu Raman and Leonard Pietrafesa of the North Carolina State University (NCSU), Raleigh, and Dr. P.A. Aswathanarayana of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM), India. These scientists, in collaboration with the Indian National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) on the IITM campus, plan to study Indian sea breezes, atmospheric convection along the see breeze front, and to also study the storm surge processes along the East coast of India (Bay of Bengal). In the first part, the scientists plan to investigate the horizontal extent of the sea breezes in relation to land-sea temperature differences and the ambient wind, and to study the formation of deep convection along the sea breeze front and its dependence on other factors such as land use pattern and upper air stability. They plan to primarily use a hydrostatic numerical model developed at NCSU and transferred to the IITM. This model will be extended to a 3-dimension state and used with atmospheric observations in India that is taken every three hours, and dating back for 30 years. The model may be supplemented with a non-hydrostatic model as needed. In the second part, the scientists will utilize a storm surge model available at the NIOT and based on Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model originally developed in the United States. They will develop methods to prescribe meteorological forces that drive the ocean model, and will also use a simple hydrodynamic model developed at NCSU and used in North Carolina during the occurrence of Hurricane Emily in 1993, with satisfactory results, in predicting this tropical storm surge. Scope: This award is to allow cooperation between a U.S. team that is quite active in modeling various atmospheric-sea-land phenomena, and an Indian team at the Madras campus that has excellent analytical capability as well as access to extensive data sources from numerous Indian research organizations. These governmental organizations operate radar, satellite, and other atmospheric and ocean measurement instrumentation on a continuous basis. The research is of significant scientific benefit to the United States and India, and is of particular importance to the meteorological activities of the Indian authorities in predicting severe climatic and weather conditions. The project involves eminent scientists and graduate students on both sides.

描述：该奖项是为了支持DRS之间的合作研究。北卡罗来纳州立大学（NCSU）的Sethu Raman和Leonard Pietrafesa，Raleigh和P.A.博士印度马德拉斯（IITM）印度理工学院的Aswathanarayana。 这些科学家与IITM校园的印度国家海洋技术研究所（NIOT）合作，计划研究印度海风，沿着Breeze Front的大气对流，并研究印度东海岸（孟加拉湾）的风暴潮过程。 在第一部分中，科学家计划研究与土地温度差异和环境风相关的海风的水平范围，并研究沿海微风前沿的深对流形成及其对其他因素的依赖，例如土地利用模式和上空稳定性。 他们计划主要使用在NCSU开发的静水数值模型并转移到IITM。 该模型将扩展到3维状态，并与印度的大气观测一起使用，该观察每三个小时都可以追溯到30年。 该模型可以根据需要补充非静态模型。 在第二部分中，科学家将利用Niot在Niot中可用的风暴浪潮模型，并根据飓风（SLOSH）模型的海洋，湖泊和陆上冲浪，最初在美国开发。 他们将开发出开出驱动海洋模型的气象力量的方法，并还将使用NCSU开发的简单流体动力模型，并在1993年飓风艾米丽（Emily）发生在北卡罗来纳州北卡罗来纳州使用，并获得令人满意的结果，以预测这种热带风暴潮。 范围：该奖项是为了允许美国团队之间的合作，该团队非常积极地建模各种大气 - 土地现象，以及马德拉斯校园的一支印度团队，具有出色的分析能力，并从众多印度研究组织那里获得广泛的数据源。这些政府组织连续运营雷达，卫星以及其他大气和海洋测量工具。 这项研究对美国和印度具有巨大的科学利益，对印度当局在预测严重气候和天气状况方面的气象活动尤为重要。 该项目涉及双方的著名科学家和研究生。
