Abstract: Numerical simulation and diagnosis show that the amplified rainstorm from Typhoon Poily is related to the development/migration of meso-α gravity waves, inhomoseneous stratification distribution andcumulus convection latent heating feedback in the storm; such waves at a large scale are excited bylarge-scale nonlinear advection; substantially amplified ageostrophic wind perturbation resulting fromthe latent heating gives rise to intensified wave amplitude, leading to enhanced rising and thus torrentialrainfall; as the waves migrate towards reduced stability, wave energy is most likely to increase.
