- Abstract:
- The project will form a part of a major international project T-REX (Terrain-induced Rotor Experiment) which will observe gravity-wave induced rotors in the Owens Valley/Sierra Nevada region. T-REX will have the twin aims of (a) establishing quantitative characteristics of rotor behaviour and gravity wave forcing and (b) evaluating and developing rotor forecasting models. Within the T-REX, this project would add detailed microbarograph observations required to characterise flow separation and would add surface flux and profile measurements needed to test unproven theories concerning rotor triggering. Numerical simulation of rotors will be carried out using three models in order to interpret the observations and develop new prediction tools.
