The overall objective of this project is to better                         understand the dynamics of atmospheric fronts.  The project                     focuses on two particular aspects - (1) the structure and                       evolution of unstable disturbances generated along fronts and                   (2) the interaction of frontal-scale and large scale processes                  in the development of fronts at upper levels of the                             troposphere.  The latter will also include an examination of                    exchanges between the troposphere and stratosphere in upper                     level frontal zones.  Both studies will employ a three-                         dimensional model with an isentropic coordinate system which                    the principal investigators developed under a previous NSF                      award.  The model represents an important tool for improving                    our understanding of the basic processes responsible for                        atmospheric disturbances.                                                            This research will advance our basic understanding of                      atmospheric process and ultimately contribute to better                         prediction of weather and climate.
