Rainfall Enhancement Following Landfalling Tropical Cyclone over Australia

澳大利亚是世界上与热带气旋相关的降雨量最高的国家之一。虽然这些事件对人口中心和工业有相当大的社会经济影响，但热带气旋登陆后的降雨过程受到研究界的关注有限。该项目旨在增进对热带气旋登陆澳大利亚后降雨增加的高危地点、时空特征、热力学-动力学机制的基本了解。预期成果包括：(A)为天气预报提供科学支持；(B)在气候变暖的背景下，提高对热带气旋登陆后极端降雨的认识。

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.
