Radar Observations of Summer Mesoscale Convective Systems Over the Eastern Tibetan Plateau and Sichuan Basin in Southwest China
This work studies the characteristics of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over the eastern Tibetan Plateau (ETP) and Sichuan Basin (SB), Southwest China using radar observations in summer of 2016–2020, and their ambient conditions using the ERA5 reanalysis. A total of 171 MCSs are identified, with 76% generated in t...
