What Controls Extreme Rainfall Intensity and Location Associated With Line‐Shaped MCSs Over Northern Japan? An Ensemble‐Based Approach

Abstract Line‐shaped mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) frequently produce extreme rainfall and severe hydrological disasters in Japan. This study investigates the environmental controls on both rainfall intensity and spatial displacement associated with two line‐shaped MCS even...

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...
