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：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
