Tropische Konvergenzlinien und Squall-lines

这个项目试图更好地了解热带对流在哪里启动、如何组织、由什么控制其产生的降水量以及如何预测的中尺度控制。这将通过在一年中有组织的对流系统丰富的时候在热带地区进行数值模拟和现场观测的综合方案来实现。一个特别令人感兴趣的现象是北澳大利亚云线的雨季表现，该云线在季风休止期经常出现。

This project seeks to better understand the mesoscale controls on where tropical convection will be initiated, how it will be organized, what controls the amount of precipitation it produces, and how well it can be forecast. This will be achieved through an integrated program of numerical modeling and field observation in a region of the tropics at a time of year when organized convective systems are abundant. A phenomenon of particular interest is the wet-season manifestation of the North Australian Cloud Line that occurs frequently during monsoon break periods.
