This research focuses on the precipitation type transition region within winter storms. This region is associated with freezing rain, ice pellets, wet snow, and their combinations. Many winter storm impacts stem from such precipitation and, in the case of mountainous terrain, the separation between rain and snow has major implications for hydrology. Given the lack of attention to this important issue, the objectives of this proposal are to determine the detailed features of winter precipitation, to better undertand how these arise over flat and sloped terrain, and to apply the ensuing results to weather prediction, hydrology, and climate studies.

这项研究的重点是冬季风暴内的降水类型过渡区域。该区域与寒冷的雨水，冰颗粒，湿雪及其组合有关。许多冬季风暴影响源于这种降水，而对于山区的地形，雨水和雪之间的分离对水文学具有重大影响。 鉴于对这个重要问题的关注不足，该提案的目标是确定冬季降水的详细特征，以更好地承担在平坦和倾斜的地形上的出现，并将随后的结果应用于天气预测，水文学和气候研究。
