Dr. Lindzen will continue research on a variety of topics in dynamic meteorology, climate dynamics, and geophysical fluid dynamics. Specifically, he will (1) examine the roles of potential vorticity mixing in conjunction with radiative forcing and Hadley circulation dynamics in determining the atmosphere's meridional temperature distribution; (2) further explore the role of gravitational tides on the outer planets; (3) expand a study of this process in the Milankovich mechanism; (4) continue studies of the upper tropospheric water vapor budget and its parameterization; (5) investigate the stationary waves that were forced by the major ice sheets during the last glaciation and their role in observed rapid climate changes; (6) study the nonlinear accommodation of a fluid to the saturation of Rossby waves when their enstrophy exceeds the available mean enstrophy; (7) study the excitation of radiating wave packets by the Orr mechanism; and (8) determine whether barotropic stabilization accounts for the supercritical equilibration of two-level monlinear models of baroclinically unstable flows. The water vapor studies will be conducted in collaboration with scientists from the Center for Ocean-Land- Atmosphere Interaction (COLA) and COLA GCM; the other studies will be conducted mechanistic models of varying complexity. All of these studies will contribute to better understanding of the basic physics of weather and climate and the dynamics of planetary atmospheres. The water vapor studies will contribute to the goals of the Role of Clouds, Energy, and Water in Global Climate Change Program.

Lindzen博士将继续研究动态气象，气候动力学和地球物理动力学的各种主题。 具体而言，（1）将研究潜在涡度混合与辐射强迫和哈德利循环动力学结合使用在确定大气的子午温度分布中的作用； （2）进一步探索引力潮对外行星的作用； （3）在米兰科维奇机制中扩展了对这一过程的研究； （4）继续研究对流层水蒸气预算及其参数化； （5）研究最后一次冰川期间主要冰盖强迫的固定波及其在观察到的快速气候变化中的作用； （6）研究液体的非线性适应性在Rossby波的饱和度超过可用的平均胚胎时的饱和； （7）通过ORR机制研究辐射波包的激发； （8）确定正压稳定是否解释了压力不稳定流的两级和尚模型的超临界平衡。 水蒸气研究将与海洋大气相互作用中心（COLA）和COLA GCM的科学家合作进行。其他研究将是不同复杂性的机械模型。 所有这些研究将有助于更好地理解天气和气候的基本物理学以及行星气氛的动态。 水蒸气研究将有助于全球气候变化计划中云，能源和水的作用的目标。
