Line-shaped Mesoscale Convective Systems in Northern Japan: Climatology and Predictive Diagnostics

Abstract This study presented a statistical analysis of line-shaped mesoscale convective systems (LS-MCSs, called “Senjo-Kousuitai”, Kato 2020) in northern Japan using a 64-year high-resolution reanalysis dataset. A significant increase in LS-MCSs frequency and rainfall intensity...

Characteristics of Quasi-stationary Band-shaped Precipitation in the Tohoku Region Detected under Varying Rainfall Thresholds

Abstract Quasi-stationary band-shaped precipitation systems sometimes cause severe rainfall disasters in the Tohoku region of northeastern Japan, but the uniform rainfall thresholds used in existing objective detection methods may be too high for this region. This study examines...
