An outstanding problem in numerical modeling of atmospheric             circulation is representation of cloudiness associated with                     vigorous convection.  An associated problem is the interaction                  between cloud and radiation processes which often dictate the                   ambient environment at a place.                                                         The PI, Dr. Betts, has developed a novel formalism called               the saturation point method which allows accurate representation                of vigorous convection in numerical models.  Dr. Betts now                      proposes to apply this method in observational and theoretical                  studies of atmospheric convection.  He plans to actively                        participate in application of the method to data collected during               the 1987 field phase of the "FIRE Project" (a U.S. regional                     experiment to study cloud.radiation interaction).  His work could               potentially lead to accurate development of numerical schemes to                represent vigorous convection in global forecast models.
