Description: This project supports participation of 20 U.S. scientists in a binational workshop on "Parameterization of Subgrid-Scale Processes in Dynamical Model of Medium Range Prediction and Global Climate" to be held in Pune. India, August 6 to 10, 1990. The Indian cooperating scientist is Dr. D.R. Sikka, Director, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, India. The workshop is planned to discuss the following areas: convection (large scale and cumulus scale), radiation, orography, boundary layer fluxes, hydrological cycle, and biosphere processes. The parameterization of these physical processes will be examined in global models for medium range forcasting (normally up to 10 days), and for global climate. Emphasis will be on the conditions in the tropics where the interaction between the dynamical fields and the parameterized convective, radiative and boundary layer processes is very rapid. It is expected that better understanding of the controls of tropical climate will result, leading to further improvements in medium range forcasting, and in our general understanding of global climate change. The workshop will also seek to identify areas for cooperative research. Workshop proceedings are scheduled to be published. Scope: U.S.-Indian cooperation in atmoshperic research stretches back to the 1970's and to the two year MONEX experiments in the winter of 1978 and summer of 1979. Indian interest in predicting weather conditions, both long-term and medium term forcasts, is well known. U.S. interest in the monsoon circulation, itself a planetary scale feature, is also very strong. The IITM in Pune has long history of tropical research. India also has recently established a National Center for Medium Range Weather Forcasting (NCMRF) in Delhi which has a newly acquired supercomputer. Thus both the U.S. and India have the strong interest and resources to deal with research problems of the workshop topic. Their collaboration is likely to benefit the two countries.

描述：该项目支持 20 名美国科学家参加将于浦那举办的关于“中期预测和全球气候动态模型中次网格尺度过程参数化”的两国研讨会。印度，1990年8月6日至10日。印度合作科学家是D.R. Sikka，印度热带气象研究所 (IITM) 所长，印度浦那。 研讨会计划讨论以下领域：对流（大尺度和积云尺度）、辐射、地形、边界层通量、水文循环和生物圈过程。 这些物理过程的参数化将在中期预测（通常长达 10 天）和全球气候的全球模型中进行检查。 重点将放在热带地区的条件上，其中动力场与参数化的对流、辐射和边界层过程之间的相互作用非常迅速。 预计将更好地了解热带气候的控制，从而进一步改善中期预报以及我们对全球气候变化的总体了解。 研讨会还将寻求确定合作研究领域。 研讨会论文集计划出版。 范围：美印在大气研究方面的合作可以追溯到 1970 年代，以及 1978 年冬季和 1979 年夏季的两年 MONEX 实验。印度对预测天气状况（包括长期和中期预报）的兴趣是众所周知的。 美国对季风环流的兴趣也非常浓厚，季风环流本身就是一个行星尺度的特征。 位于浦那的 IITM 有着悠久的热带研究历史。 印度最近还在德里建立了国家中期天气预报中心（NCMRF），该中心拥有一台新购置的超级计算机。 因此，美国和印度都有浓厚的兴趣和资源来处理研讨会主题的研究问题。 他们的合作可能会给两国带来好处。
