1997 U.S.-Korea Seminar on Storm- and Mesoscale Weather Analysis and Prediction

Droegemeier 9722772该奖项支持美国研究人员参加将于1997年10月在韩国首尔举行的“风暴--中尺度天气分析和预报”美韩研讨会。联合组织者是俄克拉荷马大学的凯尔文·德罗格梅尔教授和首尔国立大学的李东奎教授。这次研讨会将聚集领先的研究人员，讨论风暴和中尺度气象学。研讨会的目标是通过科学交流和启动具体的合作项目，整合韩国和美国的研究工作，以显著推进两国的业务天气分析和预报技术。最近的技术进步使特定地点天气预报的可行性成为可能，例如改进了以相对较高分辨率感知环境的手段，以及强大的并行计算机资源可用于运行中尺度数值天气预报系统。当地准确的天气预报对社会和经济的潜在影响和价值是巨大的。美国和韩国在这一领域有着共同的研究兴趣，两国都展示了最先进的观测网络。与韩国专家交换想法和数据将使美国与会者能够推进他们自己的工作，并将为未来的合作项目奠定基础。***

Droegemeier 9722772 This award supports the participation of American researchers in a U.S.-Korea seminar on "Storm- and Mesoscale Weather Analysis and Prediction" to be held in Seoul, Korea in October 1997. The co-organizers are Professors Kelvin Droegemeier of the University of Oklahoma and Dong-Kyou Lee of Seoul National University. This seminar will bring together leading researchers to discuss storm- and mesoscale meteorology. The goal of the seminar is to integrate, through scientific exchange and the initiation of specific collaborative projects, research efforts in Korea and the United States to significantly advance the technology of operational weather analysis and prediction in both countries. The feasibility of site-specific weather forecasting is made plausible by recent technological advancements, such as improved means of sensing the environment at a relatively high resolution, and the availability of powerful parallel computer resources to run mesoscale numerical weather prediction systems. The potential impact and value of locally accurate weather forecasts on society and the economy are enormous. The United States and Korea have common research interests in this area and both countries exhibit state-of-the-art observation networks. The exchange of ideas and data with Korean experts will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. ***
