Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied both climatology and mesoscale behavior of urban thunderstorm around Jakarta, Indonesia, where is suffered serious social damages from severe lightning. We found frequency of thunderstorm varies much with phases of eastward moving convective intraseasonal oscillation (MJO) and shows it maximum just before when the MJO active region comes over Jakarta based on long-term operational surface observation. Seasonal march of thunderstorm has much spatial variability: It shows two maxima (April and November) just before rainy seasons at most stations around Jakarta, whereas it has a peak on February only at coastal stations nearby the Jawa Sea due to intrusion of cross equatorial northerly monsoon surge (CENS). Radar observations showed that most thunderstorms have remarkable diurnal variation: they were generated in mountainous region of southern Jawa Island in the early afternoon and migrated northward by the late evening which brought lightning over Jakarta city nearby the sea.
