A Modelling and Observational Study of Colorado Front Range Winter Storms

大雪是最具破坏性的天气现象之一。美国联邦航空管理局和国家科学基金会将于1991年冬季开展一个名为“冬季结冰和风暴计划”的联合项目。这个项目的目标包括对暴风雪的研究。首席研究员将参与该项目，并将使用观测和数值模拟研究来确定动力学和微物理因素，这些因素对确定大雪的时间和地点很重要。如果成功，这项研究可能会更好地预测这些破坏性事件。

Heavy snowfalls are among the most disruptive of weather phenomena. A joint program between the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Science Foundation entitled the Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP) will be held in the winter of 1991. The objectives of this program include the study of snowstorms. The Principal Investigator will participate in this program and will use both observational and numerical modelling studies to determine the dynamical and microphysical factors that are important in determining the timing and location of heavy snowfalls. If successful, this research may lead to better forecast of these disruptive events.
