Outline of Final Research Achievements

Broad cloud bands, that are considerably thicker than cloud streaks covering over the sea, are formed over the Sea of Japan during cold-air outbreaks. Broad cloud bands largely vary with time and space. In especially intensified time and space, heavy snowfalls occur. An broad cloud band was formed for about 2 days from 25 January 2009 and was largely intensified in the landing part. In this study, formation processes of snowfall particles (cloud microphysical processes) in an intensified broad cloud band were studied mainly using a polarimetric radar. A local low-level stationary convergence region was caused on a flank of a mountain region by a mountain blocking effect. In the region, increase of graupel precipitation resulted in a heavy snowfall.
