Regional Climate Model Studies of the Sahel Summer Climate

题目：萨赫勒地区夏季气候的区域气候模式研究这项研究是先前获得美国国家科学基金会资助的成功研究的延续。本研究拟利用FSU区域气候模式和NASA GSFC GCM模式以及观测~CEP再分析对萨赫勒地区的气候过程进行研究。探索的领域将包括非洲波扰动，它们的天气和中尺度特征及其与萨赫勒干旱、海温异常和景观异质性的关系。这项研究的成功完成将有助于了解萨赫勒气候的作用过程，并将有助于预测萨赫勒气候。

Abstract ATM 97-25142 Druyan, Leonard M. Columbia University TITLE: Regional Climate Model Studies of the Sahel Summer Climate This research is a continuation of earlier successful research with a previous NSF grant. This study proposes to investigate Sahel climate processes using models (The FSU regional climate Model and the NASA GSFC GCM) and Observations ~CEP reanalysis). Areas explored will include African Wave disturbances, their synoptic and mesoscale features and their relationship to the Sahel droughts, SST anomalies, and landscape heterogeneity. A successful conclusion of this study will help to understand the processes at work for the Sahel climate and will assist forecasting of Sahel climate.
