Organized collections of thunderstorms known as mesoscale                  convective complexes have been identified as producers of most of               the rainfall and severe weather in the tropics and the mid-                     latitudes.                                                                           This research is directed towards an improved understanding                of mesoscale convective complexes and the atmospheric boundary                  layer.  Processes which initiate, maintain and modulate mesoscale               convective as well as effects of convection on the boundary layer               observations and mathematical/physical models will be employed in               this research effort.  The research will be based on data from                  two mesoscale experiments which were partially supported by the                 National Science Foundation: the Oklahoma-Kansas Preliminary                    Regional Experiment for STORM-Central (PRE-STORM; STORMS stands                 for Stormscale Operational and Research Meteorology) and the                    Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX).
