In October of 2019, Typhoon Hagibis brought abundant rainfall to eastern Japan that caused flooding of the Chikuma River in the northern region of Nagano prefecture. This study simulated the effects of changes in the elevation of the model terrain every 100 or 300 m with a regional meteorological model to understand the cause of the heavy precipitation that accompanied the typhoon in Nagano prefecture and the influence of the heights of mountains on the amount of rainfall. The model reproduced the typhoon track and spatiotemporal distribution of heavy precipitation. Mountains in the northern region of Nagano Prefecture contributed to the heavy precipitation, which increased at an approximately constant rate of 4.4 mm per 100 m increase of elevation. However, the rate of increase was especially large at elevations of 900-1200 m. The correlation of precipitation with topographic height was not as strong in the south as in the north, but the rate of variation was also anomalously high at elevations of 900-1200 m. These elevations roughly corresponded to the level of free convection or to elevations between the level of free convection and the lifted condensation level around the typhoon track.

To estimate contributions of water vapor (WV), carbon dioxide (CO2), and clouds to longwave radiation, surface downward longwave irradiance (DLI) was evaluated by comparing observations with values calculated using data from vertical profiles of WV and clouds obtained from radiosonde observations at five Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) sites. The observed DLI was reproduced by calculation with an accuracy of 3.9 ± 4.4 W m-2 for clear-sky conditions at all sites, but the accuracy was -7.7 ± 8.6 W m-2 for overcast conditions. The individual contributions of WV, CO2, and clouds to DLI were evaluated by removing these factors one by one from the normal condition including all of the factors (removal method) and by removing all factors except for one particular factor (addition method). The results indicate that the contributions of WV and clouds are relatively large, whereas the contribution of CO2 is relatively small.
