10 Future Changes of Annual 15-days Rainfall in Mekong 15 days Present Future Earlier shift of long extreme rainfall occurrence would move the flooding peak earlier.. The pattern of Future 15 day rainfall is similar to the pattern of year By Konoshima and Nakakita, 2009, Kyoto University

11 Occurring Month of Monsoon Onset and Offset Onset Offset The earlier monsoon offset might decrease the present flood peak occurring in September. Monsoon offset occurs early in Mekong, in future climate. Present By Konoshima and Nakakita, 2009, Kyoto University Future Monsoon onset and offset defined by Matsumoto, 1997

25 Virtual Shifting of typhoon s initial position NHM-5km Virtual Shifting of typhoons initial position by keeping potential vorticity same AGCM20 Dynamic downscale by RCM Worst impact assessment on Land extreme wind and rainfall Ocean storm surge and wave height By Prof. Ishikawa et. al, 2009, Kyoto University

26 Conclusion 1 The future aspects The occurring month of long range abnormal rainfall advances from September to August in the future climate in Lower Mekong River basin. The earlier shift of extreme rainfall phenomena in future climate condition would move the annual flooding peak earlier, and decrease the flood in September, in the lower part of the Mekong River basin, such as Tonle Sap and Mekong Delta. Since people s lifestyle is adapted and cultivated to the timing of the seasonal flood (beginning, peak, and ending) in these above area, the shift and changes of the annual flood would impact greatly upon people and their livelihoods.

27 Conclusion 2 How do you think about the fact the super typhoon was projected based on physically based atmospheric model even there is uncertainties in its occurrence. It should be emphasized that the scenario based discussion is also very important as the worst impact assessment. To realize this, it is important to prepare physically based scenario by the physically based virtual shifting of typhoon s track and the dynamic downscaling. Future change in moving speed is also very important. ex. Disaster in Taiwan, Aug., Total amount of almost 3,000mm in three days occurred.
