STORM-FEST and GALE Subsynoptic Scale Cyclone and Frontal Case Studies

博萨特建议继续他的案例研究分析， 次天气尺度的中纬度气旋和锋面。具体地说， 他建议用数据完成最后一组案例研究， 从GALE（1986）现场实验，到开始合作 沿海中尺度天气数值预报研究 系统，并参加STORM-FEST（1992）领域 实验和实验后分析阶段。这 实验将产生下一代收集的数据集， 观测系统（如剖面仪和多普勒雷达）。 评价和系统测试其能力，以加强 强中尺度业务探测和预报 天气事件是主要的实验目标之一。在 此外，还为一组科学目标制定了明确的科学目标， 冷季天气系统的锋面和中尺度研究 典型的美国中部。博萨特的第三条建议 研究的重点是最后一组目标。他 为实地实验的科学规划做出了贡献， 进行背景气候分析， 具体的研究机会，应该产生。 预计拟议的工作将对以下方面作出重大贡献： STORM-FEST的科学目标，基于博萨特在 类似的实验在过去。这将增加回报 从对科学资源的大量投资 以实验为代表。

Bosart proposes to continue his case study analyses of subsynoptic scale midlatitude cyclones and fronts. Specifically, he proposes to complete a final set of case studies using date from the GALE (1986) field experiment, to begin collaborative research on the numerical prediction of coastal mesoscale weather systems, and to participate in the STORM-FEST (1992) field experiment and the post-experiment analysis phase. This experiment will produce data sets gathered by next-generation observational systems (e.g. Profilers and Doppler radars). Evaluation and systems testing of their capability to enhance operational detection and forecasting of intense mesoscale weather events are among the primary experimental objectives. In addition, there have been defined scientific objectives for a set of frontal and mesoscale studies of cool-season weather systems typical of the central US. Bosart's third line of proposed research is focussed on this last set of objectives. He has contributed to the scientific planning of the field experiment, by conducting background climatological analyses and identifying specific research opportunities that should result. The proposed work is expected to be a major contribution to STORM-FEST's scientific objectives, based on Bosart's role in similar field experiments in the past. It will augment the return from the significant investment in scientific resources represented by the experiment.
