Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Vortex-type low pressure systems (LPSs) often appear around Bangladesh and cause heavy rainfall during boreal summer. This study examined the three dimensional structure of the LPSs including precipitation systems and atmospheric environment for the genesis and development of the LPSs. They have horizontal scale of about 600 km and vertical scale of about 9 km. The thermal structure shows clearly a cold core in the lower troposphere and a warm core in the upper levels. There are spiral rainbands with tall cumulus convections in the LPSs in the early stage of the development. Precipitation varies on 10-20 day period around Bangladesh. About 60% of active peaks of rainfall are related to the LPSs. Strong cyclonic shear in the lower troposphere and weak vertical wind shear throughout the troposphere, which fluctuate on intraseasonal timescales, help to induce the genesis of vortex-type LPSs. Latent heating due to condensation causes the rapid development of the LPSs.
