The Great Plains low-level jet (GPLLJ), a fast-moving southerly airstream in the lower troposphere, is one of the most important atmospheric circulation features influencing the central U.S. Roughly one-third of the moisture entering this region is transported from the Gulf of Mexico by the GPLLJ, and convergence downstream of the jet promotes the formation of thunderstorms and convective precipitation.  2, record 5, English, - Great%20Plains%20low%2Dlevel%20jet

Des travaux récents (Velasco and Fritsch 1987, Chen and Frank 1993, Emanuel 1993) ont mis en évidence que les larges systèmes orageux (appelés «mesoscale convective complexes» [MCC], en français «systèmes convectifs de méso-échelle») produisent souvent un vortex à cœur chaud, inertiellement stable, dans le champ des altostratus associés au MCC. Ces vortex de méso-échelle, d’une taille approximative de 100 à 200 km [75 to 150 mi] sont plus forts en moyenne troposphère (5 km [3 mi]) et n’ont pas de signature visible en surface.  1, record 7, French, - vortex%20de%20m%C3%A9so%2D%C3%A9chelle

It is found that the northern and southern troughs play different roles in the surface cyclogenesis. Without the northern trough, the eastward propagation of the southern trough slows down and the surface development is severely impeded. More rapid cyclogenesis occurs when the northern trough's intensity is doubled. On the other hand, the deepening rate increases considerably when the southern trough is removed. Doubling the southern trough intensity slows the eastward progression of the northern trough and leads to a reduced deepening rate. It is concluded that the northern trough is crucial for the rapid development of the superstorm, whereas the southern trough is important only during the incipient stage of the cyclone.  1, record 10, English, - deepening%20rate

Andrei Malevsky and the researchers at Environment Canada (Division de recherche en prévision numérique) have developed a portable parallel version of the MC2 model ("Mesoscale Compressible Community Model"), a regional non-hydrostatic driven model. This model, based on equations with primitive variables, is integrated over a restricted domain where the lateral boundary conditions are provided by a world-wide driving model. MC2 uses the semi-lagrangian model combined with the semi-implicit scheme. It may be used for regional prediction.  1, record 11, English, - mesoscale%20compressible%20community%20model
