3. Final Report of GAME/HUBEX (March, 2004) I Outline of HUBEX II Research background of HUBEX III Field report of heavy rainfall and flood during HUBEX IV Land surface processes V Source and transport of water vapor to Mei-yu front VI Mechanism of heavy rainfall VII Regional/Basin scale water/energy budget VIII River runoff and hydrological model IX Yangtze river flood in 1998 X 4DDA (Regional scale) data set of GAME/HUBEX XI Toward forecasting of heavy rainfall and flood

4. GAME/HUBEX 1998 &1999 When the area with latent instability is wide enough, a meso-α low is able to develop from convective systems. Latent Heat Organization and Scale-up

5. Numerical simulation

6. The south westerly moist air in the low altitude plays an important role for the development of precipitation systems. When the Mei-yu front moves toward the north of Huaihe River

7. Analyzed new data set : CHERES(973) (China) Yangtze-river Heavy rainfall (2001+2002) Shanghai

8. The convective system: developed rapidly within the observational network passed within the dual-Doppler analysis region Tbb & Radar Reflectivity

9. Doppler Radar Range Moist easterly in the low altitude from the ocean plays an important role for the formation of convergence and convective cloud systems.
