Hydro-meteorological prediction system in Indochina T. Satomura, T. Oki, J. Matsumoto and colleagues
On going studies • Observation of zonal variation of rainfall across Indochina • CREST ( -2008 autumn) • Development of prototype for hydro-meteorological short-range prediction system and quasi-realtime rainfall distribution in Indochina • JEPP ( -2008 spring) & GaME-T
Background • There are many daily rainfall obs. in Indochina. • Number of high time-resolution rainfall obs. is not large. • Radar are not well combined with data of rain gauge. • Thus detailed aspects of rainfall are not well known, and it obstructs development of short-range hydro-meteorological prediction system in Indochina.

Maximum rainfall time shifts from midnight to early morning during monsoon months. • Strong but short duration rain dominates

Radar-precip. estimation in Mae Chaem Watershed Estimate 2-dimensional hourly precipitation with the use of meteorological radar and raingauge data. (a) Om Koi meteorological radar • S-band • (17.798oN, 98.433oE), 1,160mASL • Elevation: 3 levels (0.6o, 1.4o, 2.2o) • Temporal interval: ~5 minutes (b) Raingauge • Tipping bucket • 9 stations Mae Chaem Watershed Om Koi Radar observation range Raingauge stations
Z-R relationship • Assume Z=aRb type relation and estimate parameters a and b by comparison of radar and raingauge data. • Using Z=aRb type seems valid. Z=12.3R1.93 Raingauge precipitation Logarithmic raingauge precipitation Hourly-base reflectivity factor (dBz) Hourly-base reflectivity factor (dBz)
Results Hourly precipitation averaged in MCW Daily radar precipitation in MCW Estimated 5-month precipitation (May-September, 1999) Daily precipitation averaged over 9 raingauges Animation from 22 to 26 Aug.
16 Modeling is also on going 6km • Exp. of fine spacio-time distribution of rainfall • In dawn on 10 Aug. 2001 when flush flood occurred strong precipitation system stayed over the concerned area 1km (b) 3h prep. at 15Z, 9 Aug. 2001 (c) 3h prep. at 18Z , 9 Aug. 2001 (d) 3h prep. at 21Z, 9 Aug. 2001 (e) 3h prep. at 00Z, 10 Aug. 2001
For AMY08 • We will try to find fund(s) and to continue observation. • We hope that exchange (or use) of obs. data and prediction know-how would be much more freely and easily among researchers in the same and/or different Indochina countries.
