1 Videosonde Observation in the Tropics The Third International SOWER Meeting Lake Shikotsu July 18-2, 26 Kyukamura Shikotsuko, Lake Shikotsu, Japan Kenji Suzuki Yamaguchi University, Japan 1

2 Table of Contents 1. Motivation 2. Videosonde 3. Previous videosonde observation 4. R/V Mirai MR4-8 cruise 5. Summary and future plan 2

3 Motivation 1 In the tropical western Pacific region, - Warm pool convection - Release of latent heat drive the global circulation Precipitation mechanisms relate to - Upward transportation of water vapor - Vertical heat budget 3

4 Motivation 2 - Liu & Fu (21), Takayabu (22) TRMM data different precipitation system over ocean and land - The difference originates from Specific heat properties of land and sea? Large-scale circulation pattern? Cloud microphysics? - Importance of in situ microphysical observation of clouds developed over the tropical ocean - Goal: to investigate the precipitation particle distribution over the ocean using Videosonde 4

24 Aggregate Graupel and Aggregate Particle observed in a thick stratiform cloud in TOGA-COARE. (Takahashi et al., 1995) Particle images obtained from Videosonde#5. Aggregate? observed at 4.9km (-.3C) in the other stratiform cloud (captured by a cloud videosonde). 24

25 Summary 1. This study was the first to launch videosondes from an ocean-going vessel. 2. Within convective clouds, the vertical distribution of precipitation particles is characterized by raindrops, frozen drops, and nearly round graupel. This is similar to the results in the TOGA-COARE project and at Ponape, where the warm-rain-freezing process was observed to be dominant. 3. Within the thick stratiform clouds, aggregates were observed of small frozen drops or nearly round graupel. 25

26 Future plan and challenge 1. Additional videosonde observations are required to understand the general features of precipitation over oceanic area Indian Ocean R/V Mirai Cruise in Further improvement of videosonde low-cost, light-weight, easy analysis 3. Development of new digital videosonde This challenge has been started with Fujiwara-san. Goal : Digitalization of image transmission Application to Snow White, Drop-videosonde Easy observation for everyone 26
