US-India Cooperative Research: Planetary Boundary Layer Formulation for Improving Monsoon Forecasts

产品描述：该奖项支持美印合作研究项目，题为“改进季风预报的行星边界层公式”。 US PI T.N.佛罗里达州立大学（FSU）的克里希那穆提和印度气象学家S. V.辛格（新德里国家中期天气预报中心）将建立一个统一的行星边界层模型，用于数值天气预报，该模型将利用地球仪不同地区的业务天气中心和研究小组使用的几个现有方案的优缺点。 他们将综合最新的计划，并保留每个配方的最佳方面，以设计一个多模式超级计划，将提供未来的算法配方的短期预测。 适用范围：改善对亚洲-澳大利亚地区季风降水的预测对于生活在那里的数十亿人的水资源，农业，健康和经济福祉问题至关重要。 这项研究将PI在印度一个地区完成的工作扩展到受亚洲季风影响的整个地区。 该奖项支持每个机构的研究生到合作机构进行交流访问。这项研究的共同资金由印度科学技术部根据NSF/DST联合计划提供。

Description: This award supports the US-India cooperative research project entitled Planetary Boundary Layer Formulation for Improving Monsoon Forecasts. US PI T.N. Krishnamurti, Florida State University (FSU) and Indian meteorologist S.V. Singh, National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting, New Delhi will construct a unified planetary boundary layer model for numerical weather prediction that exploits the strengths and weaknesses of several existing schemes used by operational weather centers and research groups in different parts of the globe. They will synthesize the most current schemes and retain the best aspects of each formulation in order to devise a multimodel superensemble scheme that will provide future algorithm formulations for short range forecasting. Scope: Improved predictions of monsoon precipitation for the Asian-Australian region are critical for issues of water resources, agriculture, health, and economic well being for the billions living there. This research extends work completed by the PI for one region of India to the entire area affected by the Asian Monsoon. The award supports exchange visits to the collaborating institutions by graduate students from each institution. Cofunding for this research is provided by the Indian Department of Science & Technology under the NSF/DST joint program.
