Abstract
The local precipitation, which occurs frequently in an inner area connecting Fukuoka plains and Chikushi plains, has been investigated by using the data of AMeDAS and Rader AMeDAS Precipitation. The relationship between the convergence of sea breezes from Genkai and Ariake seas and the local precipitation has been investigated by using the ARPS model. The analytical results show the evident convergence of the two sea breezes toward the inner area and the generation of the strong upward wind. Also the convective cloud is generated due to the upward wind. These results show that the local precipitation is closely related with the convergence of the sea breezes blowing into the inner area.
