Numerical Modeling of the Global Atmosphere

小行星9613979 该奖项为致力于改善全球大气数值模型中与湿度和云场相关的物理过程的代表性的研究项目提供了持续的支持。 在很大程度上， 是活动的延续，涉及的课题广泛。 其中包括：开发一个全球版的混合垂直坐标模式，用于模拟锋面云;评估在云的上升气流/下降气流模式中包括冰相过程的影响;根据云集合模式的结果改进积云参数化;对观测进行统计分析，以确定积云参数化的可能性;冰云衰减过程的公式化;改进行星边界层水分收支的公式化;以及地形重力波参数化的发展。 荒川博士被公认为是大气数值模拟领域的伟大领导者之一，并继续保持着相当的生产力。 该项目由NSF通过该奖项和NASA通过单独的奖项共同支持。 ***

9613979 Arakawa This award provides continued support for a research project devoted to the improving the representation of the physical processes relating to humidity and cloud fields in numerical models of the global atmosphere. In large part, the new research represents a continuation of activities and involves a broad range of topics. Among them are the development of a global version of a hybrid vertical coordinate model which will be used to simulate frontal clouds ; assessing the impact of including ice phase processes in a cloud updraft/downdraft model; improvement, based on cloud ensemble model results , of the cumulus parameterization; a statistical analysis of observations with a view to cumulus parameterizability; formulation of the decaying process for ice clouds; improving the formulation of the planetary boundary layer moisture budget; and the development of the parameterization of orographic gravity waves. Dr. Arakawa is acknowledged to be one of the great leaders in the field of numerical modeling of the atmosphere and continues to be quite productive. This project is supported jointly by the NSF through this award and NASA through a separate award. ***
