Study of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Turbulence Processesin the Tropics, Dispersion Parameters Experiments, Award in Indian Currency

目标：该项目允许北卡罗莱纳州立大学地球与大气科学系的Sethu Raman博士和印度新德里印度理工学院大气科学中心的M.P. Singh博士继续合作研究数值天气预报和空气污染。工作将于1日继续。区域天气预报模式的发展预测短期季风事件，2。3.风暴潮预测；季风边界层过程和4。空气污染。本研究的重点是大气湍流和扩散。边界层物理和积云加热的改进参数化方案将与动力学初始化方案一起纳入区域尺度模式。研究范围：双方在数值天气预报领域合作多年，为两国带来可观的利益，并在国际期刊上发表了大量论文。这两位科学家在印度得到了强有力的支持，可以进行实验并获得重要的数据，否则这些数据可能无法轻易获得，因此这项研究很可能对美国资助的科学家有益。本项目得到两项资助：北卡罗莱纳州立大学90财年$25,993加$31,200印度卢比91财年$32,466加$44,500印度卢比92财年$25,993加$31,200印度卢比2新德里印度理工学院：90财年，115,882美元，折合印度卢比

Objectives: This project allows Dr. Sethu Raman of the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, and Dr. M.P. Singh, Center of Atmospheric Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India, to continue collaboration in the study of numerical weather prediction and air pollution. Work will continue on 1. development of a regional weather prediction model to predict short range monsoon events, 2. storm surge prediction, 3. monsoon boundary layer processes and 4. air pollution. Emphasis in this research will be on atomospheric turbulence and diffusion. Improved parameterization schemes for boundary layer physics and cumulus heating will be incorporated into the regional scale model along with a dynamics initialization scheme. Scope: The two teams have been collaborating in the field of numerical weather prediction for several years with considerable benefit to both countries and with significant publications published in international journals. The two scientists have strong backing in India for conducting experiments and obtaining important data that may not be readily available otherwise, thus the research is likely to be of benefit to the scientists in the U.S. Funding: This project is being supported under two grants: 1. North Carolina State University FY90 U.S. $25,993 plus $31.200 in Indian rupees FY91 U.S. $32,466 plus $44,500 in Indian rupees FY92 U.S. $25,993 plus $31,200 in Indian rupees 2. Indian Institute of Technology New Delhi: FY90 $115,882 in Indian rupees
