Mesoscale Dynamics

Goals

To produce accurate numerical simulations of storm-scale processes in order to understand the role that planetary and synoptic scale parameters play in their generation and evolution.

To understand the dynamics of synoptic and mesoscale phenomena and their interaction with larger and smaller scales.

To improve high-resolution model simulations of synoptic and smaller scale phenomena which can be used to guide parameterization development in coarser models.
