Severe Convective Storms

提出的研究目的是提高对对流风暴形成和演化过程的物理认识。将特别注意在干线附近形成的龙卷风超级单体，以及利用机载多普勒雷达和地面中网的数据发展分析技术。这些目标将在很大程度上通过分析来自NOAA p3机载多普勒雷达、PAM地面中网和1991年春季俄克拉荷马剖面仪合作研究（COPS 91）实验期间收集的移动类测深数据来实现。还将分析来自新俄克拉何马Mesonet的数据、1981年由国家强风暴实验室（NSSL）进行的实地项目的双多普勒雷达数据、移动探测、风廓线数据和风暴特征的可视化文件。＊＊＊

9302379 Bluestein The purpose of the proposed research is to improve the physical understanding of the processes responsible for the formation and evolution of serve convective storms. Special attention will be given to tornadic supercells initiated near the dryline and to the development of analysis techniques using data from an airborne Doppler radar and from a surface mesonetwork. The objectives will be met in large part through the analysis of data from a NOAA P 3 airborne Doppler radar, from a PAM surface mesonetwork, and from mobile CLASS soundings collected during the cooperative Oklahoma Profiler Studies (COPS 91) experiment held during the spring of 1991. There will also be analysis of data from the new Oklahoma Mesonet, dual Doppler radar data from a 1981 field program conducted by the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), mobile soundings, wind Profiler data, and visual documentation of storm features. ***
