This book firstly presents the definition of polar low, and then reviews the history of polar low study. The general features of polar lows over the Japan Sea and the neighboring northwestern Pacific are systematically summarized based on the author's previous researches. Three polar low cases over the japan Sea that occurred in February 1997 are focused on, respectively. The observational features and evolutionary processes of these polar low cases are described in great detail. Moreover, their developments are simulated well by using JSM (Regional Spectral Model), RSM (Regional Spectral Model) and MRI-NHM (Meteorological Research Institute Non-Hydrostatic Model), respectively. Also emphasized are the discussions of the development mechanism of these polar lows
1. General Introduction
2. General Features of Polar Lows over the Japan Sea and the Northwestern Pacific
3. A Case Study of Polar Low over the Japan Sea on 26 February 1996
4. Numerical simulation and Experiment by Using JSM
5. An Isolated Polar Low over the Japan Sea on 21 January 1997
6. Multiple Polar Lows on 11 February 1997
7. Discussion and Summary
8. Appendix-A: IPV (Isentropic Potential Vorticity)
9. Appendix-B: The enrgy fluxes across the domain boundaries
10. Appendix-C: Increase of eddy kinetic energy due to the convergence of mean flow field V
11. Refereces
12. List of figures
13. List of tables
14. Index
15. List of abbreviations and acronyms
