This research involves the investigation of mesoscale convective
systems and supercell thunderstorms and their interaction with the
mountains of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. Forecasting
severe storms in these areas is often a very difficult process. The
data gathered on these mesoscale events will be used to help
investigate the feasibility of improving the forecast quality of the
Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) for Western NC.
