The objective of this research is: (1) to determine the forcing             mechanism of the wet microburst using multi-Doppler radar and a 2               dimensional cloud model; (2) to develop a technique to forecast the             occurrence of wet microbursts, that can be used as a guide to issue             "wind shear" alerts; (3) to determine the kinetmatic/dynamic                    structure of the bow echo.                                                          The microburst is an extreme wind-shear event, often associated             with thunderstorms, and characterized by small spatial and temporal             scales.  Although it has on occasion caused tornado-force damage at             the surface, the most serious threat is to avaiation.  Two field                projects, JAWS and MIST have been operated in recent years to study             the microburst.
