The Influence of Aerosols and Meteorological Conditions on the Total Rain Volume of the Mesoscale Convective Systems Over Tropical Continents

Abstract This study provides an observational assessment of the variations of the total rain volume (TRV) with aerosols through the entire lifetime of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over tropics. Using 70,000 MCSs' samples, we show that TRV increases with aerosols from clean to moderately...

Subjects:
total rain volume of the mesoscale systems increases as AOD increases up to 0.4
as AOD increases beyond 0.5, TRV decreases
the TRV change with AOD is strongest under favorable meteorological conditions
such responses are similar under all meteorological conditions and the convective lifecycle
