Rainfall Enhancement Following Landfalling Tropical Cyclone over Australia

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Australia has one of the highest incidents of tropical cyclone-related rainfall in the world. Although these events have considerable socio-economic impacts on population centres and industries, the rainfall processes following the landfalling tropical cyclones have received limited attention from the research community. This project aims to improve fundamental understanding of the high-risk locations, spatial-temporal characteristics, thermodynamic-dynamic mechanism on enhanced rainfall following the landfall of tropical cyclones over Australia. Expected outcomes include: (a) scientific support for weather forecasting; and (b) improved knowledge of extreme rainfall following tropical cyclone landfall in the context of warming climate.
