Outline of Final Research Achievements

Weather forecast model to predict snowfall phenomena is expected as useful method for the measure against snow and ice disaster. In the cloud resolving model, which can be applied to the calculations at high resolution, various microphysical processes are incorporated in complex form. Then, the validation of cloud microphysics scheme by comparison with observation are required for its improvement.
In this study, we applied the methods for validation of the precipitation category and size distribution predicted by model comparing with precipitation fraction of each precipitation type classified by predominant hydrometeor, and precipitaion particle properties (size and fallspeed distribution). And we considered the factors of model underestimation of snow fall over the Japan-Sea coastal areas in middle Japan by model calculations at various resolution and sensitivity experiments and tried to modify the parameterisation for the production of graupels to improve the underestimation.
