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

Droegemeier 该奖项支持美国研究人员参与美国- 1997年10月在韩国首尔举行的韩国“风暴和中尺度天气分析和预测”研讨会。 共同组织者是俄克拉荷马州大学的Kelvin Droegemeier教授和首尔国立大学的Dong-Kyou Lee教授。 这次研讨会将汇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，以大大提高两国的业务天气分析和预测技术。 最近的技术进步，例如以相对较高的分辨率感知环境的改进方法，以及强大的并行计算机资源的可用性，使中尺度数值天气预报系统运行，使特定地点的天气预报的可行性变得合理。 准确的本地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。 与韩国专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并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. ***
