The Fidelity of Satellite Inferences of Transport Within the Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere

这一奖项代表了少数群体研究规划补助金。首席调查员将利用授权期编写一份竞争性提案，以评估卫星测量对流层顶(对流层和平流层之间)热量、动量和示踪剂传输的保真度。这项支助将使首席研究人员能够调整以前开发的建模代码，这些代码用于对中层大气(平流层上层和中间层)进行类似的评估，这是作为她博士研究的一部分进行的。关于这一主题的研究项目的结果可以为如何改进全球环流模式的四维数据同化提供有价值的见解。

This award represents a Minority Research Planning Grant. The principal investigator will use the grant period to prepare a competitive proposal to assess the fidelity of satellite measurements of heat, momentum, and tracer transport across the tropopause (between the troposphere and stratosphere). The support will allow the principal investigator to adapt previously developed modeling codes which were used for a similar assessment of the middle atmosphere (upper stratosphere and mesosphere) which was done as part of her doctoral research. The results of a research project on this topic could provide valuable insights into how to improve the four dimensional data assimilation for global circulation models.
