抄録: | The characteristics and environmental properties of warm-season quasi-stationary convective clusters (QSCCs) in Japan were statistically investigated using operational weather radar and upper-air sounding data from May to October during 2005-2012. The characteristics of the environmental conditions for the development of QSCCs were described through a comparison with those for no-rain cases. We identified 4133 QSCCs over the Japanese major islands. By compiling numerous QSCC samples, the horizontal scales of QSCCs with a circular shape are about 20 km on average with a maximum of 72 km, indicating that warm-season QSCCs in Japan are meso-β-scale phenomena. The analyses of the environmental conditions for the QSCC and no-rain cases showed that the amount of moisture in the lower layer controls the stability condition for the development of the QSCCs, and that the magnitudes of the wind shear and the helicity in the lower troposphere distinguish the kinematic environments for the development of the QSCCs. An increase in the middle-level moisture leads to a larger amount of precipitable water vapour in the QSCC environments, suggesting that atmospheric moistening before the development stage of convection plays an important role in the development of the QSCCs. Additionally, the precipitation intensity has a higher correlation with the convective instability, whereas the precipitation area correlates with the shear intensity. A comparison between slower- and faster-moving CCs indicated that the precipitation intensity of the slower-moving CCs is stronger. This feature is related to a higher convective instability for the slower-moving ones. |
