Indo-U.S. Workshop on Atmospheric Technology, Bangalore, India, March 1994, Group Travel Award in Indian and U.S. Currencies

项目说明：本项目支持美国科学家参加将于1994年3月在印度班加罗尔的印度理工学院举行的关于大气技术的美印研讨会和讨论。目标是：1；确定可应用于印度环境的大气技术的关键进展；2 .探索在印度为热带降雨测量任务（TRMM）验证计划建立一个现代降雨地面实况站点；确定双方有兴趣在大气研究和仪器方面进行合作的领域。技术会议将包括以下主题：天气雷达、风廓线仪、大气和地面测量的先进仪器、中尺度气象学和云物理、航空气象学和灾害。会议记录将会出版。范围：该项目预计将包括来自科罗拉多州立大学和NCAR的科学家。此外，预计至少还有一个美国政府机构将支持其工作人员的参与。对印度季风的研究对这个国家至关重要，对世界上其他国家也非常重要，因为季风对其他地区的天气有影响。这次计划中的会议将在1986年12月举行的一次类似的双边会议之后举行。它正得到印度政府的大力支持。这个项目符合国际项目部的目标。＊＊＊

9311818 Bringi Description: This project supports participation by U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Indo workshop and discussion on atmospheric technology to be held in March 1994 at the Indian Institute of Technology in Bangalore, India. The goals are: 1. to identify key advances in atmospheric technology that can be applied to the Indian context, 2. to explore establishment of a modern rainfall ground-truth site in India for a Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) validation program, and 3. to identify areas of mutual interest for possible collaboration in atmospheric research and instrumentation. The technical sessions will include topics in: weather radars, wind profilers, advanced instruments for atmospheric and surface measurements, mesoscale meteorology and cloud physics, and aviation meteorology, and hazards. a proceedings will be published. Scope: The project is expected to include scientists from Colorado State University and from NCAR. Also, at least one other USG agency is expected to support its staff's participation. The study of the monsoon over India is crucial to that country, and is also very important to other countries around the world, because of the impact of the monsoon on the weather in other regions. This planned meeting will follow a similar binational meeting held in December 1986. It is receiving strong support from the Government of India. This project meets the objectives of the Division of International Programs. ***
