Abstract: Located in the southmost part of mainland China, South China (SC) is one of the rainiest regions over East Asia with abundant moisture transported by monsoonal airflows passing South China Sea (SCS) (Ding, 1994;Ding & Chan, 2005). About a half of the annual rainfall over SC is produced during the pre-summer rainy season (April to mid-June) (Luo, 2017). The pre-summer heavy rainfall over inland SC mainly takes places under influence of fronts, shear lines, vortex, and associated strong low-level winds to the so… Show more

“…A similar sensitivity to moisture on CI timing can be seen in a case in eastern China documented by Luo and Chen (2015), where a larger amount of low‐level moisture carried by monsoon airflow corresponded to an earlier timing of CI, while a more crucial role of temperature in controlling CI timing was found in a case that occurred in South China by Bao et al. (2020).…”

“…Since CAPE is affected by both temperature and humidity, the coincident distribution of CAPE and humidity verifies that the heterogeneity of CAPE was mainly contributed by the spatial variations in moisture in the present case. A similar sensitivity to moisture on CI timing can be seen in a case in eastern China documented by Luo and Chen (2015), where a larger amount of low-level moisture carried by monsoon airflow corresponded to an earlier timing of CI, while a more crucial role of temperature in controlling CI timing was found in a case that occurred in South China by Bao et al (2020).…”

“…The coastal regions of South China witness the most active convection in China, especially after the onset of the East Asian summer monsoon (Luo et al, 2017(Luo et al, , 2020. The orographic effects and the convergence between land breezes/downslope winds and low-level onshore flows (especially the onshore marine LLJ) play an important role in the regional hydrologic cycle (Bao et al, 2021;Luo et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2021). The CI occurrences in this region are pronounced from June to August, with a primary peak in the early afternoon and a secondary peak at midnight (Bai et al, 2020a).…”

“…The thermally induced diurnal downslope winds can combine with a land breeze to strengthen convergence along the coastline, which significantly regulates the timing and location of coastal CI at night (e.g., Chen, Zhang, et al., 2016; N. Wu et al., 2019). The development of convection near the coastline is also supported by the forced lifting of the ambient moist southerlies on the windward slopes of the coastal mountains and the subsequent cold pool produced by the convection (e.g., Bao et al., 2021; C. Zhang et al., 2020; Chen et al., 2017; Du, Chen, Han & Bai, 2020; H. Li et al., 2021; Li et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2014). In contrast to the coastal terrain, the inland area of South China (∼200 km from the coastline) has a complex topography that includes trumpet‐shaped multi‐scale orography (Figures 1a and 1b).…”
