Understanding the behavior of tropical cyclones in order                   to better predict their intensities and path is the ultimate                    goal of this research.  One way to gain insight is to use                       numerical models to examine various aspects of the circulation.                 Two topics will be pursued under this award.  The first is a                    study of the role of latent heat release from cumulus                           convection in cyclone development and how the effects can best                  be represented in numerical models.  An important part of the                   investigation will be to compare simulations using two                          different cumulus parameterization schemes.  The second area                    involves a study of the role of the beta-effect, or latitudinal                 variation of the Coriolis acceleration, on the motion of                        tropical storms.  The study will be done with a spectral model                  which was developed under a previous NSF grant.                                      The research to be conducted under this award will be for                  the completion of a graduate student thesis.
