Science and Planning Workshop for Ross Island Meteorology Experiment - RIME.

该奖项将为罗斯岛气象实验计划研讨会提供资金支持，该项目将把先进研究技术的成果整合到南极天气预报中。研讨会将于2001年9月在俄亥俄州立大学伯德极地研究中心举行。研讨会的目的是将大气界与南极天气气象学的研究兴趣联系在一起。该小组将包括业务预报员、数值建模员、大气科学家等，他们将为美国南极计划的天气气象项目定义和推荐可实现的目标，并确定麦克默多湾/罗斯冰架地区研究项目的核心要求，以实现这些目标。由于不断努力提高极地地区数值天气预报模式的能力，以及利用宾夕法尼亚州立大学/国家大气研究中心第五代中尺度模式对南极大气的实时模拟，极地数值天气预报的最新进展使南极天气预报领域处于快速改进的边缘。这种潜力只能通过一个有针对性的研究项目来实现，该项目的目标是提供一个观测数据库来验证建模工作。2000年5月在俄亥俄州立大学举行的南极天气预报研讨会认识到并阐明了这个讲习班的必要性

0132036Bromwich This award will provide funds for the support of a planning workshop for the Ross Island Meteorology Experiment, a project to integrate the results of advanced research techniques into antarctic weather forecasting. The workshop will be held at the Byrd Polar Research Center of Ohio State University, in September 2001. The objective of the workshop is to bring together the atmospheric community with research interests in antarctic synoptic meteorology. This group, which will include operational forecasters, numerical modelers, atmospheric scientists, and others, will be expected to define and recommend realizable goals for the synoptic meteorology program of the U.S. Antarctic Program, and to define the core requirements of research project in the McMurdo Sound/Ross Ice Shelf area which will achieve these goals. Recent advances in polar numerical weather prediction, resulting from ongoing efforts at improving the capabilities of numerical weather prediction models for use in polar regions, and real-time simulations of the antarctic atmosphere using the Penn State University/National Center for Atmospheric Research fifth generation mesoscale model have placed the field of antarctic weather prediction at the brink of a period of rapid improvement. This potential can only be realized through a directed research program with the goal of providing an observational database to validate the modeling effort. The need for this workshop was recognized and articulated at the Antarctic Weather Forecasting Workshop held at Ohio State University in May 2000.***
