Analyses of extreme weather systems affecting eastern Canada

提出的研究重点是提高我们对影响加拿大东部的大范围热带和温带气旋的理解。建议进一步研究加拿大大西洋地区降水的气候学和可预测性。这些研究课题是相互联系的，因为热带和温带气旋形成是造成加拿大东部大部分极端降水事件的原因。这项研究的最终目的是提高对加拿大东部极端气旋形成和降水的预测。在这项拟议的研究计划过程中开发的技术可以应用于加拿大的所有地区，因此可以在加拿大各地加强对极端天气的改进预测。

The proposed research focuses on improving our understanding of large range of cyclogeneses, both tropical and extratropical, which impact eastern Canada.  Additional research is proposed to study both the climatology and predictability of precipitation in Atlantic Canada.  The research topics are linked in that both tropical and extratropical cyclogeneses are responsible for a large share of extreme precipitation events in eastern Canada.  The ultimate goal of this research is to improve predictions of extreme cyclogenesis and precipitation in eastern Canada.  The techniques developed during the course of this proposed research program may be applied to all regions of Canada, so that improved predictions of extreme weather may be enhanced throughout Canada.
