摘要: Ground-based and airborne Doppler radar and LIDAR systems are being designed to alert pilots when a hazardous windshear is present. A key element in this design effort is understanding the microburst itself. This is accomplished by means of the TASS model which was developed for NASA by Proctor (1987a,b). The time-dependent TASS model has two vesions: a two-demensional high resolution axisymmetric model, and a three-demensional model. The model includes a sophisticated parameterization of cloud microphysics and a friction layer, both of which are essential to a realistic simulation of the microburst phenomenon. The TASS model has been successfully tested on well-observed convective events.
