During the Northern Hemisphere winter, the subtropical jet                  stream stretches from the northern Africa, the Persian Gulf and                 Red Sea regions to the Himalayas.  Numerical experiments with                   theoretical models have given some indication that the stationary               wave amplitudes in both troposphere and stratosphere are                        sensitive to perturbations in the subtropical jet.  A large and                 rapid increase in stratospheric wave amplitude is a recognized                  precursor to "sudden warming"; during a "sudden warming", the                   temperature at 10 mb near the north pole can increase by 40-60                  degrees in a week, and the mean zonal wind can reverse from a                   westerly to an easterly direction.                                                  Unfortunately the routine upper air observations of this                    subtropical jet are extremely sparse.  The meteorological                       information recorded on commercial flights can be of potential                  use.  However, this information generally does not reach any of                 the major weather prediction centers worldwide.  Under this                     award, Professor Tenenbaum will work with the British Airways to                collect the meteorological recordings from certain flight paths                 in the region of the subtropical jet.  Professor Tenenbaum will                 then analyze this data, evaluate the performance of weather                     prediction models in this data sparse region, and, if warrented,                conduct data assimilation experiments. >//
