- Abstract:
- This proposal is concerned with research aimed at understanding the mechanisms responsible for the initiation of precipitating convection; i.e. why convective clouds form and develop into precipitating clouds in a particular location. There are a number of aspects to this problem requiring a combination of multifaceted observations and modelling. We propose to conduct a field campaign over southern England during the summer of 2004 in Phase 1 of this project and to use the results of the field campaign in Phase 2 to improve understanding of the processes involved and to evaluate and improve the performance of high resolution models and data assimilation techniques.
