| Research Abstract |
On the basis of the special observation, data analyses and numerical study which were performed in this three yeas, we synthesized processes of heavy rainfall formation and its predictability. Important results are summarized as follows.
(a) A significant two-year periodical variations were found in the distribution of cloud amount over the East Asia and rainfall over Japan Islands during the Baiu season.
(b) In a cloud cluster, with a horizontal scale of several hundred kilometer, which was long-lasting and stationary owing to successive formation of cumulonimbus group at its western edge, its precipitation efficiency was high.
(c) In the situation of the sufficiently moist lower troposphere, a transverse rainband was formed and moved slowly. A mountain range occasionally caused a long-lasting and stationary rainband.
(d) Complex behavior of precipitation cells and variation of environmental flow varied the middle level dry inflow and low level moist inflow. This resulted in a selective development of a convective cell and concentration of heavy rainfall.
(e) In a moist atmosphere, precipitation enhancement occurred in two stages in the upstream of an orography. According to the size and shape of the orography and atmospheric conditions, precipitation cell developed on the lee side of mountain as well as upstream side. These orographic effects are important for the heavy rain formation.
(f) On the basis of these results, we synthesize and summarize main problems in prediction of heavy rain formation and its predictability.
