Analysis and Prediction of Mid-Latitude Mesoscale Convection Precipitation Systems

摘要

This research focused on diagnostic and modeling studies of mesoscale processes associated with severe weather events. The work can be grouped into the following four areas: (1) Studies of the influence of surface forcing on convective storms; (2) Analysis and initialization of three-dimensional models; (3) Studies of the effects of elevated mixed layers on convective storms; and (4) General studies of the physical processes involved in the development and maintenance of mesoscale systems. The results are described in detail in 16 scientific journal publications. Keywords: Atmosphere models; Atmospheric precipitation; Weather forecasting.
