| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Idealized numerical experiment was performed to simulate localized heavy rainfall over urban area. The experiment is aimed at investigating how the localized heavy rainfall is caused by urban buildings. The results showed that lower urban building tends to increase atmospheric instability before convection occur due to slow and small forcing to the atmosphere. The increased instability enhanced vertical structure of convection which transports lower humidity to upper atmosphere, leading to increase of ice water content that eventually causes heavy rainfall over urban area. Additional numerical experiment that employed bulk parameterization for urban building also showed that localized heavy rainfall occurred through similar process, and resulted in similar rainfall trends.
