Black Research Program: General Approach Characterization, dynamical diagnosis, and validation of
the life cycles of extratropical meteorological phenomena
Dynamical Diagnosis: Use dynamical theory to develop mathematical diagnostic tools that are then applied to phenomenological life cycles to test mechanistic hypotheses
Validation: Validate life cycle characteristics and dynamical mechanisms in climate models and various reanalysis datasets
Nature of Research: Computational analysis of large multi-dimensional datasets (observations & climate simulations)
Strong, narrow and quasi-horizontal “rivers of air” Typically located in upper troposphere or stratosphere Thousands of km long; hundreds of km wide; few km deep
