Fundamental understanding of storm systems and, hence,                      improved predictions depend upon advances in knowledge of many                  interacting meteorological phenomena.  In this study, the                       Principal Investigator proposes to investigate the effects of                   atmospheric thermal forcing in flow regimes that posses a                       "critical level".  A critical level is the height at which the                  velocity of the ambient wind coincides with the propagation speed               of atmospheric disturbances.  Previous work has shown that                      critical levels can play an important role in triggering and/or                 maintaining convection.                                                             The Principal Investigator will use both theoretical                        investigations and numerical modelling to study the relationship                between thermal forcing and atmospheric flows with critical                     levels and how these relate to the formation and maintenance of                 two diverse atmospheric storm systems -- mid-latitude squall                    lines and east coast wintertime cyclones.  //
