PREDICTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS

Abstract

The research efforts for the first year on Project Themis at Texas A and M University have been directed along five primary research paths: analysis and prediction of atmospheric structure through use of dual-frequency radars and associated ground facilities; cumulus cloud dynamics; modeling studies of the frictional boundary layer; installation of two automatic meteorological collection stations in an instrumented watershed which is in the pattern of the radars; and design of a facility for direct measurement of the fluxes of momentum, heat, and vapor. The activities under these various headings are reviewed separately herein.
