Orographical Effects of Heavy Rainfall by Typhoon 0514 (NABI)

Abstract

Numerical experiments using a mesoscale meteorological model (MM5) were performed to evaluate the mountainous orographical effects on heavy rainfalls brought by Typhoon 0514 (NABI), which caused a flooding disaster in the southeast Kyushu area of Japan. The numerical modeling studies examined three terrain conditions using a numerical model: A flat terrain with altitude
