Subsynoptic Extratropical Weather Systems:Observation,Analysis,Modeling,and Prediction. Notes from a Colloquium:Summer, 1974. Volume II. Seminars and Workshops,

摘要

The colloquium on Subsynoptic Extratropical Weather Systems was jointly conducted by the advanced study program and the small-scale analysis and prediction project of NCAR. The colloquium notes are divided into four sections: (1) A series of lectures by Noel LaSeur on the structure and dynamical aspects of atmospheric frontal zones,jet streams, squall lines,convective clouds,and tornadoes. A brief discussion of numerical modeling of atmospheric fronts and cumulus convection is included. (2) A series of lectures by Arnt Eliassen on the theoretical aspects,both analytical and numerical,of fronts and jet streams,mountain waves,small amplitude gravity wave oscillations,and Ekman layer theory. (3) Special one-week workshop on current work in developing and improving upon limited-area,short-range numerical weather prediction models. (4) Twenty-six supplemental afternoon seminars on topics relating to the colloquium,in the areas of synoptics,dynamics,numerical techniques,observing systems,objective analysis,and social impact assessment were also presented.
