Effects of Asymmetric Latent Heating on Typhoon Movement Crossing Taiwan: The Case of Morakot (2009) with Extreme Rainfall
2012
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences
Typhoon Morakot struck Taiwan during 6-9 August 2009, and it produced the highest rainfall (approaching 3000 mm) and caused the worst damage in the past 50 yr. Typhoon-monsoon flow interactions with mesoscale convection, the water vapor supply by the monsoon flow, and the slow moving speed of the storm are the main reasons for the record-breaking precipitation. Analysis of the typhoon track reveals that the steering flow, although indeed slow, still exceeded the typhoon moving speed by
