Cloud Resolving Simulation of a Local Heavy Rainfall Event on 26 August 2011 Observed in TOMACS

[摘要]  A local heavy rainfall of about 100 mm h−1 occurred in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture on 26 August 2011. This rain was brought by a mesoscale convective system (MCS) that developed near a stationary front that slowly moved southward. In an analysis using geostationary multi-purpose satellite rapid scan images and dense automated weather station networks, development of the MCS occurred after the merging of sea breezes from the east (Kashima-nada) and the south (Tokyo Bay).
