The research project focused on the development of an automated numerical prediction system for stratospheric turbulence. This involved modifying and testing a stratospheric mesoscale numerical model with observed initial data from several case studies. A sequence of events was simulated that likely organized environments favorable for stratospheric turbulence. This sequence involved the development of large amplitude hydrostatic gravity waves that in turn modified the lower stratospheric environment making it favorable ...
Long-term goals are to understand precursors leading to the development of Atlantic tropical cyclones: 1) the formation of a mesovortex (MV), a mesoscale convective complex (MCC), and African Easterly Waves (AEWs) to the lee of the Ethiopian Highlands (EH) 2) the propagation and evolution of the AEW with MCC and MV across the African continent.
