Interannual variability of moisture sources and isotopic composition of Meiyu-Baiu rainfall in southwestern Japan: Importance of Asian monsoon moisture for extreme rainfall events by Xiaoyang Li, Ryuichi Kawamura, Kimpei Ichiyanagi, Kei Yoshimura

“…This facilitates deep convection, leading to more extreme rainfall during heavy seasons. Compared with Eulerian moisture tagging method, Lagrangian backward trajectory method underestimated contribution of AM moisture, due to higher precipitation efficiency at higher altitudes, resulting from stronger convection and ascent accompanied with more precipitation and rainout in the upstream AM regions. …”
