The daily rainfall accumulation
Total accumulative rainfall during typhoon Mindulle passage over Taiwan
1-2 Scientific Issues
1. A rainfall minimum is normally observed in Taiwan between the end of the Mei-Yu season and the early July.
3. Flooding is unusual in most of Taiwan during the monsoon break period. However, flash floods occurred in central and southern Taiwan on 2-4 July 2004 during the climatological minimum rainfall period (16 June to 15 July) .
4. The WRF model was used to investigate heavy rainfall event, The objective is to test the performance of the WRF model and to evaluate it’s capability as a severe weather research tool in a subtropical area.
2. Most of the total rainfall accumulation was not high due to the presence of the western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) over Taiwan.

Characteristics of typhoon Mindulle
1 ) The moisture is very plentiful in the SCS before landfall of Mindulle 。( great than 20g/kg )
2) Mindulle coincided with the monsoon trough during landfall in Taiwan , the strong southwesterly extended from the southeastern side region of typhoon to the southern part of Taiwan (ws > 20 m/s) 3 ) As Mindulle left Taiwan , the convergence of the outer circulation of Mindulle with the environmental southwesterly in the southwestern part of Taiwan Strait trigger the initiation of MCS , then MCS moved into Taiwan and lead to the precipitation moved from coaster to upslope area
4 ) After leaving Taiwan, Mindulle coincide with the upper layer trough ,then the upper trough deepen and lead to the increase of positive vorticity above Taiwan . It provide favorable condition to the development of low level disturbance 5 ) The strong Southwesterly continue to transport the warm moisture air to Taiwan area to support the development of MCS .
How develop of the Southwesterly ?
What affect the initiation and development of MCS ?
Are there any difference between two precipitation episodes?

˙The southerly and southwesterly from SCS confluence with the typhoon outer circulation leads to the development of the strong southwesterly flow
˙As Mindulle left Taiwan, the northwesterly associated with typhoon circulation converge with environmental southwesterly in the southwestern part of Taiwan Strait. The increasing PGF associated with the 850 hpa mesolow enhance the southwesterly, and continuously to transport warm moisture to help the development of MCS.˙The low level confluent entrance area at 850 hpa coincide with the 300 hpa upper level divergent outflow area and the upper jet stream located at the downstream area of the low level jet provide a favorable condition for the development of MCS. This situation is consistent with the papers of Chen(1998;2000)

˙After typhoon Mindulle passage, the southwesterly flow still prevail and transport moisture in the vicinity of Taiwan.
˙The low level convergence mainly located in the windward side of CMR.The warm moisture air lifted by the terrain lead to the development of local convection.

(( 66 )) Summary-1Summary-1
˙Observational analysis shows that abundant moisture already exist in the south china sea before Mindulle invade Taiwan.
˙During Mindulle invade Taiwan, typhoon is just located inside the monsoon trough, southerly and southwesterly flow confluent with typhoon circulation in the south and eastern side of Taiwan and generated a strong wind zone and help to transport warm moisture to the vicinity of Taiwan.
˙As Mindulle left Taiwan, the northwesterly associated with typhoon circulation converge with environmental southwesterly in the southwestern part of Taiwan Strait. The increasing PGF associated with the 850 hpa mesolow enhance the southwesterly, and continuously to transport warm moisture to help the initiation and development of MCS, then MCS moved into Taiwan and lead to the precipitation moved from coast to upslope area.
(( 66 )) Summary-2Summary-2
˙After leave from Taiwan, Mindulle coincide with the upper trough ,then the upper trough deepen and lead to the increase of vorticity above Taiwan . It provide favorable condition to the development of low level disturbance. The low level convergence mainly located in the windward side of CMR.The warm moisture air lifted by the terrain lead to the development of local convection. ˙Sensitivity test shows that the terrain effects is the main mechanism for the intesity and distribution of rainfall, while moisture quantity in SCS and Taiwan Strait will affect the intensity of the convective system.
