Abstract
Two quasi-stationary quasi-linear convective systems caused local heavy rainfall on 9 August 2013 in the northern Tohoku region of Japan. We investigate this rare event in the region using a numerical simulation and examine airflow structures and mechanisms. The amount and locations of the simulated precipitation agree well with the observed values. The environment is favorable to convective systems, and analyses based on forward trajectories and composites of convective cells clarify airflow structures. Mountains upstream of the extreme precipitation areas trigger the back-building convective systems, whereas humid low-level inflows converging below the convective systems play a role in maintaining the convective systems downstream where there are no significant mountains.
期刊介绍：
SOLA (Scientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere) is a peer-reviewed, Open Access, online-only journal. It publishes scientific discoveries and advances in understanding in meteorology, climatology, the atmospheric sciences and related interdisciplinary areas. SOLA focuses on presenting new and scientifically rigorous observations, experiments, data analyses, numerical modeling, data assimilation, and technical developments as quickly as possible. It achieves this via rapid peer review and publication of research letters, published as Regular Articles.
Published and supported by the Meteorological Society of Japan, the journal follows strong research and publication ethics principles. Most manuscripts receive a first decision within one month and a decision upon resubmission within a further month. Accepted articles are then quickly published on the journal’s website, where they are easily accessible to our broad audience.
