| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Uncertainty of extreme precipitation and water vapor was investigated using ensemble forecast data by dynamical downscaling and observational data. We investigated the variability of extreme precipitation using very extreme precipitation event occurred in 2015 summer around Japan. The extreme precipitation occurred under the limited situation linking two typhoons, however, our results show the possibility to speculate the areas, where is close to the actual damaged area, to watch out for similar disasters.
As a source of precipitation, we also investigated the relationship between precipitable water vapor and surface temperature using long-term observational data. We found that the precipitable water vapor increases with higher rate than that estimated in previous study. The results show the importance to observe vertical profiles of temperature and humidity correctly that change drastically coupled with the surface temperature increases.
