This research involves support for participation of scientists             from the University of Wyoming in the Convective INiation and                   Downburst Experiment (CINDE) to be conducted near Denver, Colorado in           the summer of 1987.  CINDE represents a collaborative effort between            the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National               Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and university                    scientists and has the two goals of investigating the kinematics and            thermodynamics of the initiation of storms by boundary layer                    convergence lines and the reasons for initiation of microburst                  downdrafts.  In order to maximize available resources, the CINDE is             being held in conjunction with two other field experiments:  the                Federal Aviation Administration's Terminal Doppler Weather Radar                Experiment and the NOAA sponsored Denver AWIPS-90 Risk Reduction and            Requirement Evaluation.                                                              The exact timing and location of the initiation of deep                    convection is of great value for a variety of purposes including                improved prediction of rainfall amounts, public warnings of severe              weather, timing of space craft launches and landings, etc.                           The hazard to aircraft posed by microbursts has been well                  established, but reasons for formation and maintenance of these                 intense downdrafts is not completely understood.  Improved knowledge            of this phenomenon, will contribute to better prediction and                    detection methods.
