An observational perspective on precipitation efficiency of mesoscale convective systems over the Asian Monsoon Region

This study investigates the precipitation efficiency ( ε ) of tropical mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) using satellite-based precipitation rates (P˙) and reanalysis cloud, ice, and liquid water paths (CWP, IWP, LWP). We define ε as the ratio of P˙ to CWP, following Li et al....
