| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Studies based on observations and numerical models provided many findings on snow clouds producing heavy snowfalls and strong gust of wind. The analysis of Ku-band radar data revealed time changes in three-dimensional structures at convective scale of snow clouds at high spatial and temporal resolutions. Multi-Doppler radar analyses clarified characteristic airflow structures at meso β- and γ-scales in snow clouds producing heavy snowfalls, and wind recovery taking into account the surface vertical wind on complex orography suggested the importance of interaction between snow clouds and the orography for heavy snowfalls in Sapporo. A newly developed bulk microphysical model had better performance in reproducing snowfall patterns. Various processes important to the occurence and development of meso-α scale polar lows, sometimes accompanying heavy snowfalls and strong gust, were found by numerical experiments for winter seasons over past 30 years, using a regional model.
