Surface-atmosphere interactions in the Canadian Prairies and Arctic

这项研究是为地面-大气过程工作量身定做的，这对于更好地了解和预测我们的天气和气候系统至关重要。这包括极地和中纬度地区。拟议的研究将侧重于低层大气与陆地、开阔水域、雪和海冰等各种表面之间发生的具体物理过程和反馈。这包括与大尺度大气环流有关的每个表面对低层大气演变的季节、每日和每小时的影响。这不仅将改进我们(使用计算机模型)模拟天气和气候系统的方式，还将有助于我们对极地和中纬度气象和天气预报的基本理解。对加拿大的好处(除了上述)是提高我们在天气和气候科学方面的全球贡献和地位。

This research is tailored to surface-atmosphere process work which is critical for better understanding and prediction of our weather and climate system. This includes the polar and mid-latitude regions. The proposed research will focus on specific physical processes and feedbacks that take place between the lower atmosphere and various surfaces such as terrestrial, open water, snow and sea ice. This includes seasonal, daily and hourly influences of each surface on lower atmosphere evolution in association with larger scale atmospheric circulations. This will not only improve the way we simulate our weather and climate system (with computer models), but will also contribute to our basic understanding of polar and mid-latitude meteorology and weather forecasts. Benefits to Canada (besides the above) are to enhance our global contribution and stature in weather and climate sciences.
