ANALYSIS OF HEAVY RAIN FROM TYPHOON NUMBER 3 (2017) USING X-BAND MULTIPARAMETER RADAR DATA, KYUSHU, JAPAN

The heavy rain on 5–6 July of 2017 was generated by the seasonal rain front that lingered from 30 June until 4 July, and by typhoon No.3 in the Kyushu northern part of Japan (Fukuoka and Oita Prefectures) which occurred at 09:00 on July 2. Such heavy rain caused serious disasters (landslid...
