Synoptic-Dynamic Climatology of East Coast Winter Storms and Their Impacts

这是一个延续项目，重建一个高分辨率的东海岸冬季风暴（ECWS）的气候使用区域分析数据集，从而更新和完善以前开发的ECWS气候。智力优点：PI将（1）识别潜在的ECWS，以客观地与副热带急流和/或更向极的急流中的扰动（涡度最大值）联系起来，（2）识别与每个ECWS相关的影响（沿海洪水和大雪）。这项工作的完成将为ECWS影响与每个ECWS的起源和轨迹之间的动态联系提供新的见解。更广泛的影响：这项研究将增加我们对ECWS的了解，可能导致更好地预测其对社会的影响。它还为研究生提供学习经验和培训。

This is a continuation project to reconstruct a high-resolution climatology of east coast winter storms (ECWSs) using a regional analysis dataset, thereby updating and refining the previously developed ECWS climatology. Intellectual merit: The PIs will (1) identify potential ECWSs to objectively link to disturbances (vorticity maxima) in either the subtropical jet stream and/or a more poleward jet stream, and (2) identify the impacts (coastal flooding and heavy snowfall) associated with each ECWS. Completion of this work will offer new insights into dynamical linkages between ECWSs impacts and the origin and track of each ECWS.Broader impacts: The research will increase our understanding of ECWSs, possibly leading to improved prediction of their impacts on society. It also provides learning experiences and training for a graduate student.
