“…Numerous studies have examined the mechanisms of heavy rainfall production in MCSs and their associated favorable environmental conditions. Some major favorable conditions include quasi‐stationary fronts (Chen, ), low‐level vortices (Chang et al, ; Fu et al, ; Huang & Meng, ; Ninomiya & Akiyama, ; Tao & Ding, ), and low‐level, southwesterly jets (Chen & Yu, ; Chen, Wang, & Lin, , ; Huang & Luo, ; C. C. Wang, Hsu, et al, ). In addition, onshore oceanic flow, surface mesoscale outflow boundary, frictional contrast between land and sea, and coastal orography could all play critical roles in the initiation and development of heavy‐rain‐producing MCSs in the coastal areas of south China (H. Wang, Luo, et al, ; Wu & Luo, ).…”
