US-India Cooperative Research: Effect of Realistic Eurasian Snow Cover on Indian Summer Monsoon-- Numerical Experiments with Regional Model, Award in Indian Currency

小行星9732685 产品描述：该奖项支持美国-印度合作研究：现实欧亚积雪对印度夏季季风的影响-区域模型的数值实验。 合作者是美国PI Anandu D。Vernekar，气象系，马里兰州大学和印度PI S.K. Dash，印度理工学院大气科学中心，新德里。 本研究探讨了欧亚积雪对印度季风年际变化的影响。 将通过与全球大气环流模式相联系的高分辨率区域模式的数值试验来研究欧亚冬季积雪过多对随后的印度夏季季风降雨产生不利影响的假设。 其结果对印度季风的爆发和强度有重要的预测价值。 适用范围：这是一项新的合作，将马里兰州大学气象系和德里印度理工学院大气科学中心联系起来。 该项目将马里兰州Vernekar小组在一般和区域模式数值试验方面的开拓性专门知识与德里小组在模拟大气和海洋过程方面的能力结合起来。 美国国家大气研究中心（NCAR）将提供克雷超级计算机设施来支持这项研究。 ***

9732685 Dash Description: This award supports the US-India Cooperative Research: The Effects of Realistic Eurasian Snow Cover on the Indian Summer Monsoon-- A Numerical Experiment with a Regional Model. The collaborators are US PI Anandu D. Vernekar, Department of Meteorology, University of Maryland and Indian PI S.K. Dash, Centre for Atmospheric Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi. This research examines the effect of the Eurasian snow cover on the interannual variability of the Indian monsoon. The hypothesis that excessive winter Eurasian snow cover has adverse effect on the subsequent summer monsoon rainfall over India will be studied through numerical experiments on a high resolution regional model linked to a global general circulation model. The results will have important predictive value about the onset and strength of the Indian monsoon. Scope: This is a new collaboration linking the Department of Meteorology, University of Maryland and the Center for Atmospheric Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. This project combines the pioneering expertise of Vernekar's group at Maryland in numerical experiments with general and regional models with the capability of the Delhi group in modeling atmospheric and ocean processes. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) will provided Cray supercomputer facilities to support this research. ***
