Professor Rutledge, collaborating with Professor                           Williams of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will                     participate in a thunderstorm experiment near Darwin,                           Australia between November 1988 and February 1989.  This                        award will allow the two principal investigators to operate                     the MIT 5 cm radar and a network of 10 coronal point                            stations in the field.  The joint operation of the MIT radar                    and the NOAA TOGA (Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere) 5                      cm radar will provide, for the first time, Dual-Doppler                         observations in the tropics.                                                         The primary objective of Professors Williams and                           Rutledge's research is to better understand the dynamics and                    electrification oof deep tropical convection and mesoscale                      weather systems and ccompare it with what we know of in the                     middle latitudes.  Since the field phase corresponds to the                     winter monsoon period in northern Australia, this work will                     also allow a comparison of the behavior of lightning between                    oceanic storms, prominent during monsoon onset, and                             continental storms, prominent during monsoon breaks.
