I. Brief Overview of Typhoon Rananim
Landfall in Zhejiang occurred at 1200UTC on Aug. 12, 2004
Although early detection of Typhoon Rananim cut losses to a minimum , It ravaged the Chinese eastern provinces. Confirmed by meteorological authorities to be the worst typhoon to hit China since 1956. “Rananim” won’t be used to name typhoon in future and as the specified name of Typhoon NO. 14 last year.
Affecting the lives of 18.18 million people, the strong winds and torrential rain caused more than 21.04 billion Yuan (U.S. $2.53 billion) in direct economic losses.
Demolishing 212,600 homes and damaged reservoirs and power communication facilities.
The death toll was at 183, while about 500,000 were evacuated from their home.
A Chinese family was drenched by the storm in the city of HangZhou, August, 12, 2004.

At 12 UTC, 08AUG2004, originating from tropical disturbance at the ocean surface in the east of Philippines
At 18 UTC, 10AUG2004, intensified to Typhoon Rananim
At 12 UTC, 12AUG2004, landfall over Zhejiang Province and moving westward
At 03 UTC, 13AUG2004, weakening to tropical storm
At 09 UTC, 13AUG2004, reducing still to depression

III. Experimental Design
AREM Overview
• Advanced Regional Eta-coordinate Model• Dynamic core, fully energy-conservative time-space difference• Vertical coordinate, η, Horizontally spaced in Arakawa E-grid• Moisture transportation, Two-step Shape Preserving Advection Scheme (TSPA
S)• Initialization, De-grib NCEP analyses, or Cressman Iteration• Physical processes, simple but practical• Model mesh, nested• Used to forecast heavy rainfall operationally, to perform typhoon, environment
al simulations etc. • Good performance in simulating and forecasting Chinese torrential rainfall
