Radar Echo Population of Thunderstorms and Feasibility Study on Nowcasting of Thunderstorm-induced Local Heavy Rainfalls

Masahito Ishihara

Abstract

This study shows a statistical analysis of air-mass type thunderstorms generated in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area on 5 August 2008 using three-dimensional radar reflectivity data. Possibility of nowcasting local heavy rainfalls induced by the thunderstorms is also examined by using the radar data and the lightning data.
