abstract = "One of the PROSUR 90als for this and next years is to Promote and
support active participation of the PROSUR members in the
activities of the South American Low Levei Jet Field Experiment
(SALLJEX). (November 2002 - April 2003). This goal is directiy
related to the objectives adressed in PROSUR and to the South
American 10w-level jet (SALLJ) program, component of the
CLlVARNAMOS program, that is an internationally coordinated effort
in arder to contribute to the understanding of the role of the
SALLJ in moisture and energy exchange between the tropics and
extratropics and related aspects of regional hydrology, climate
and climate variability. SALLJEX is framed by lhe SALJ strategy of
i) obtaining an improving lhe description of lhe temporal and
spatial structure of lhe SALLJ based on expanded monitoring
activities and special field experiments, ii) evaluating lhe
veracity of numerical representation (forecasts and analyses) of
SALLJ against special observations and; iii) determining
improvements of initial state representation and model
parameterizations required to improve prediction. This strategy
aims to improve short and long term predictions. This strategy is
common to PROSUR objectives in the MERCOSUR region. The document
on the American low-level jet study (ALLS), includes the SALLJ
scientific prospectus and implementation plan and is available at
the CLlVAR web page http://www.clivar.org/organization/vamos/. The
field observation campaign (SALLJEX) being planned between 1
November 2002 and 1 March 2003, will put together different
observing systems: basically missions with a research aircraft
(NOM/WP-3D), an enhanced and improved upper air sounding network
and a significant enhancement of the current raingauge network.
This report aims to summarize the research activities during last
year focused in this PROSUR agenda topic emphasizing the
interactions within the PROSUR community. As with other PROSUR
reports the ongoing research is not exclusively focused in this
particular subject as there are topics in common with extreme
events, atmospheric modeling and Paran{\'a} Plata Basin floods.",
