[E-11-12] Extreme Rainfalls and the Climate Change

*Yukari Takayabu¹ (1. Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo)

In various parts of the world, increased frequencies of disastrous rainfalls are anticipated associated with the global warming. Accumulations of space-borne precipitation radar observations have enabled us to study characteristics of precipitation globally and statistically. In this talk, I will introduce recent studies on relationships between extreme rainfalls and their environmental conditions, to renew our understandings on changes of extreme rainfalls associated with the climate change.
