Doppler radar has proven to be an invaluable tool for the                  study of many meteorological phenomena.  The Principal                          Investigator will use a combination of Doppler radar data,                      theoretical studies and numerical modelling to attack a broad                   range of meteorological research problems including: (1) Simple                 numerical models and previously collected Doppler radar data from               two NSF sponsored field projects will be used to study the role                 of drop breakup in the intensification and formation of severe                  downdrafts (microbursts); (2) New techniques for determining                    Doppler radar derived turbulent kinetic energy and momentum                     fluxes in the boundary layer will be verified with high                         resolution aircraft data; (3) Theoretical studies and actual data               will be used to develop and test new estimators of the width of                 Doppler velocity spectrum.  This last goal will utilize data                    collected with a unique, state-of-the-art processor which has                   only recently been installed on the CHILL National Radar Facility
