A cloud-resolving model is used to Hawaii 96822, USA. simulate this extreme rainfall event and understand the dynamic aspect under this event. E-mail: [email protected] Due to the interaction between Morakot and a monsoon system, a peripheral gale force monsoon surge appears to the south of Taiwan. The monsoon surge remains even in a sensitivity experiment in which Taiwan terrain is reduced. However, the rainfall amount in Taiwan is greatly reduced without high topography over Taiwan, suggesting the important role the local topography plays in producing heavy rainfall. The overall numerical results Received: 22 September 2009 indicate that it is the interaction among the typhoon, monsoon system, and local terrain that Revised: 29 November 2009 led to this extreme event.
