| description | The rainfall distribution is spatial and temporal variability. The development
and intensity of rainfall is governed and influenced by monsoon systems, orographic
convective systems and land-sea interactions. Monsoons are seasonal winds, and
develop around thermally produced continental highs in winter and lows in summer.
North-east monsoon wind, also known as trade-wind brings heavy rainfall to Kuantan
District, part of east-cOast Peninsular Malaysia that causes flooding. This study was to
investigate the impact of trade-wind to precipitation during 2013 flood events at
Kuantan District, Pahang. The specific objectives are as follows; to established satellitebased
rainfall intensity database and wind direction using Geographical Information
System
and to analyse rainfall distributions intensity effect of wind direction. Tropical
Rainfall
Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite-based rainfall intensity data and wind
data
from Meteorological Malaysia Department (MMD) were used to establish a
database.
Further, satellite-based rainfall intensity distribution and wind direction had
been
map. Therefore, relationship between rainfall intensity distribution and wind
direction
were analysed. The result shows, during research most direction of wind come
from
North North West (NNW), not as stated by previous research. This causing more
rainfall
distribution intensity in the South South East region of district. Consequently,
flooding
occurred at that area. In general, rainfall distribution intensity influenced by
wind
direction, meanwhile in local area topography affects wind direction. |
