On the characteristics of precipitation in mountainous basins and numerical simulation

Abstract

In this paper, the results of the field observation of precipitation by the present authors are shown and the results of altitude or direction of the slopes in a mountainous area on rainfall are discussed. In order to investigate the characteristics of precipitation processes, numerical simulation of rainfall by using Kessler's and Hobbs' parameterization are carried out. Finally comprehensive comparison with the numerical solutions obtained from the two models and the field data are performed.
