| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the western equatorial Pacific, precipitation systems with positive vorticity in the lower and middle troposphere sometimes develop to tropical cyclones. To reveal the structure of precipitation systems involving vortices and mechanisms to intensify their vorticity, a field experiment was conducted in Republic of Palau in June 2013 (PALAU2013). An X-band polarimetric Doppler radar, and X-band Doppoler radar, and a direct observation system for cloud and precipitation particles (hydrometeor videosonde: HYVIS) were installed in Palau.
We make new findings for a precipitation system using HYVISs and a polarimetric radar: (1) densely rimed ice crystals and graupels were not identified in the convective region, (2) Aggregates formed by column crystals exist from 50 to 70 km behind the convective region between the melting level and a height of 6.5 km, and (3) Needle and dendrite crystals were not identified under relatively low supersaturation for ice above the melting level.
