Impact of the New Model
New Model Old Model
Rain Rate at the surface resulting from Baiu front at 15 JST, 19 July 2003.
Observation
Rain Rate (mm hr-1)
The new model shows better performance as compared to the old model.
Mesoscale Model Forecast of Heavy Rainfall

Observation Data Used in the Analysis
A high-resolution model requires dense observations with sufficient accuracy.

Performance of the Mesoscale Model Precipitation Forecast for Rain-rate at 10 mm / 3 hr
Accuracy of precipitation forecasts is represented by an objective index indicating the minimum (0) to the maximum (1).

Impact of Horizontal Resolution of the Model
10-km1.5-km
Three-hourly accumulated rainfall for 09 – 12 JST. Maximum rainfall amounts attained over 60 mm/hour .
Observed Rain Rate
As the horizontal resolution increases, the rain band is well represented.

Typhoon Positional Error of Typhoon Model Forecasts
FT = 72 hours
FT = 48 hours
FT = 24 hours
Forecast errors of typhoon center positions are reduced, especially for longer forecast hours, resulting from model developments.

Nowcasting of PrecipitationNowcastVery Short Range Forecast
1-hour rainfall res.=5km, issued every 30 minup to 6 hours
10-minutes rainfallres.=1km, issued every 10minup to 1 hour
nowcast represents localized high rain rates
Disaster prevention and mitigation•Urban flood caused by a rapidly developing rain cloud
11
Future Plan
Development of a high-resolution model Horizontal resolution: 2 ~ 5 km
Further improvement of Typhoon forecast with new technologiesMulti-scale analysis of echo motion for nowcasting
Improve the forecasts of severe meteorological phenomena that threaten life and property.
12
A role of JMA is to provide accurate forecasts for prevention and mitigation of natural disasters.
Enhancement of the numerical weather prediction system and nowcast system is an important task.
Summary
• Development of an advanced mesoscale model
• Use of various observational data
• Development of an advanced data assimilation method
• Improvements in the typhoon track forecasts
