NAME Tier-1 ObjectivesNAME Tier-1 Objectives

1. How are low-level circulations along the Gulf of California / west slopes of the Sierra Madre Occidental related to the diurnal cycle of moisture and convection? (low-level circulation)

2. What is the relationship between moisture transport and rainfall variability (e.g. forcing of surge events; onset of monsoon details)? (moisture transport)

3. What is the typical life cycle of diurnal convective rainfall? Where along the western slope of the Sierra Madre Occidental is convective development preferred? (diurnal cycle)

4. What are the dominant sources of precipitable moisture for monsoon precipitation over southwestern North America? (moisture sources)

5. What are the fluxes of energy and water from the land surface to the atmosphere across the core monsoon region, and how do these fluxes evolve in time during the warm season? (land surface)

SUMMARY OF NAME MODELING AND DIAGNOSTIC STUDIESSUMMARY OF NAME MODELING AND DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES

• Estimates of the moisture budget of the IAS region are in progress using this network.

• These estimates will be combined with estimates over the core (and peripheral) monsoon regions (based on a new network of in situ soundings) to quantify the Q flux-precipitation relationship over the entire region (inc. U.S.).
