Case Study on Convection Initiation Associated with an Isolated Convective Storm Developed over Flat Terrain during TOMACS

摘要

?During the Tokyo Metropolitan Area Convection Study for Extreme Weather Resilient Cities (TOMACS), many isolated convective storms developed in the southern Kanto Plain on August 17, 2012. The aim of this study was to clarify the dynamics leading to the convection initiation of one of them using different remote sensing instruments.
