U.S.-Poland Cooperative Research: Simultaneous Fine-scale Temperature and Cloud Liquid Water Measurements in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds

这是一个美国和波兰的合作研究项目，旨在支持波兰科学家参与定于2001年7月进行的DYCOMS-11（海洋层积云动力学和化学）研究。首席研究员Marcin Szumowski来自内华达大学沙漠研究所。他的波兰合作者，来自华沙大学地球物理研究所的西蒙·马林诺夫斯基和克日什托夫·哈曼。研究人员将使用近十年来开发的一套高频仪器，同时测量温度、云中液态水的含量和云内的微物理结构。这套仪器以前从未同时使用过，并且有潜力创建一个前所未有的强大数据集，以非常精细的空间分辨率表征夹带过程及其对云微物理演化的影响。这个大气科学研究项目实现了将美国和中欧/东欧的顶尖专家聚集在一起的计划目标，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力。

INT 0106616Szumowski This is a U.S.-Polish collaborative research project to support the participation of Polish scientists in DYCOMS-11 (Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus) scheduled for July 2001. The principal investigator, Marcin Szumowski, is from the University of Nevada Desert Research Institute. His Polish collaborators, Szymon Malinowski and Krzysztof Haman, are from the Institute of Geophysics at Warsaw University.The researchers will use a suite of high-frequency instruments developed in the last decade to simultaneously measure the temperature, cloud liquid water content, and microphysical structure within the cloud. This suite of instruments has never been used simultaneously before and has the potential to create an unprecedented robust data set characterizing the entrainment process and its effects on cloud microphysical evolution with very fine spatial resolution. This project in atmospheric sciences research fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Central/Eastern Europe to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
