"Research in Atmospheric Dynamics"                                                                                                                                   Under this award, the principal investigator will pursue                   studies in two areas of atmospheric dynamics.  The first involves               a theoretical study of the formation of storms or cyclones in the               lee of mountain ranges, or lee cyclogenesis.  Two aspects of                    cyclogenesis will be examined in detail:  (1)  the interaction                  between the incipient disturbance and the mountain barrier and                  (2)  the role of jet streaks as the impetus for the developing                  storm.  This study represents an extension of some of Dr.                       Bannon's previous work.                                                              The second research area involves a reexamination of one                   aspect of a major conceptual model of atmospheric dynamics, the                 quasi-geostrophic theory.  This theory employs certain                          approximations to the equations of motion which are applicable to               large-scale atmospheric motion.  The principal investigator plans               to test the validity of a new form of the equations which better                represents conditions at the lower boundary of numerical models.                     Both of these studies are important for improving our                      understanding of large-scale atmospheric motion.
