Tropische Konvergenzlinien und Squall-lines

该项目旨在更好地了解中尺度控制热带对流将在哪里启动，它将如何组织，是什么控制它产生的降水量，以及如何预测。这将通过在一年中有组织的对流系统丰富的时候，在热带地区的数值模拟和实地观测的综合方案来实现。一个特别令人感兴趣的现象是北澳大利亚云线的雨季表现，它经常出现在季风间歇期。

This project seeks to better understand the mesoscale controls on where tropical convection will be initiated, how it will be organized, what controls the amount of precipitation it produces, and how well it can be forecast. This will be achieved through an integrated program of numerical modeling and field observation in a region of the tropics at a time of year when organized convective systems are abundant. A phenomenon of particular interest is the wet-season manifestation of the North Australian Cloud Line that occurs frequently during monsoon break periods.
