Re: [SATREPS IOP 2011] NHM simulation

Dear Dr Mori and colleagues,

Yes, for the larger-scale situation analyzed by GSM, a very
typical "Matsuno-Gill pattern"-like twin cyclonic vortices
are now just in the western coastline of Sumatera mainland.

The GSM analysis also shows a cold-surge-like northeasterly
are entering into South China Sea and reaches in the eastern
coast of Sumatera Island. This is associated with dominant
Siberian anticyclone as shown in the recent synoptic weather
map attached here, obtained from the JMA website:
http://www.jma.go.jp/en/g3/
(more maps are obtained also in Hokkaido Broadcast Co.Ltd:
http://www.hbc.co.jp/weather2/pro.html
involving JMA maps (in the international format) although
website captions are written in Japanese). By this situation
Japan is in a very cold situation with heavy snowfall in the
Japan-Sea side and the northern regions these days.

If the northeasterly works too strongly in NHM, NHM may not
reproduce the clouds in the western coast of Sumatera, because
this region becomes a dry area in the leeside of Bukit Balisan
(Sumatera mountains) and also Malay Peninsula (of which the
eastern coast a heavy rainfall is reproduced also in NHM).
NHM does not look reproducing moisture transport by the
westerly between the Matsuno-Gill twin vortices which may
be possible by taking broader area in the western (Indian-
Ocean) side in NHM.
