Convective Instability Associated with the Eastward-Propagating Rainfall Episodes over Eastern China during the Warm Season

Analysis of the latest satellite rainfall and reanalysis datasets from 1998 to 2012 demonstrates that eastward-propagating rainfall episodes, which typically occur in late night and morning, are determinant factors for the rainfall diurnal cycle and climate anomalies over eastern China. The episode...
