AN INTEGRATED STUDY OF ATMOSPHERIC WAVE GENERATION AND COUPLING

小尺度大气重力波在确定大气状态方面起着重要的作用，但尚未得到很好的理解。2005-2006年将在澳大利亚北方进行的观测将汇集不同种类的雷达和其他仪器，以研究雷暴中的降雨过程。结果将用于高分辨率数值模型，以测试风暴产生的波浪，并研究其对大气的影响。该项目将有助于改进天气雷达对降雨量的测量，并改进数值天气预报和气候预测。它将为研究生提供使用最先进仪器和模型的高质量培训。

Small-scale atmospheric gravity waves play an important, but not well understood, role in determining the state of the atmosphere. Observations to be made in northern Australia in 2005-2006 will bring together different kinds of radars and other instruments to study rain production processes in thunderstorms. Results will be used in a high-resolution numerical model to test wave generation by storms and to study their impact on the atmosphere. The project will contribute to the improvement of weather radar measurements of rainfall and to improvement in numerical weather forecasting and climate prediction. It will provide high-quality training for postgraduate students in the use of state-of-the-art instrumentation and models.
