Abstract:Precipitation from tropical cyclones (TCs) can cause massive damage from inland floods and will become more intense under warming climate. Knowledge gaps still exist in how the impact area and spatial pattern of heavy precipitation change with climate and environment. Here we defined a novel metric (DIST30) that represents the footprint of heavy TC precipitation based a high-resolution satellite precipitation product and global TC record over the past 41 years. We show that the DIST30 has increased significant… Show more
