| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To elucidate the formation process of a sudden heavy rainfall in a local region on a basin in summer, we analyzed the meteorological conditions on a Basin preceding the appearance of a cumulonimbus cloud (a precipitating cell) using the 23 cases that a cumulonimbus cloud appeared and developed on the Kofu Basin in summer from 2012 to 2014. From the analyses of the cases, we consider the atmospheric instability on the Kofu Basin which was caused by the moisture transport associated with the local winds to the Kofu Basin from the outside at surface and the moisture advection above the Kofu Basin from the surrounding mountains to the Kofu Basin, and the lifting of moisture at the horizontal convergence formed by the local winds at surface causing a cloud. Thus, it is suggested that cumulonimbus clouds appeared and organized on the region of the horizontal convergence, which contributed to the formation of a rainfall in a local region on the Kofu Basin.
