Precipitating Cloud Characteristics during Changma as Seen in TRMM PR Observations

Figure 6

Climatological evolution of (a) convective fraction, (b) the number of convective and stratiform rain pixels, and (c) mean cloud top height in time (Julian day). The two vertical lines represent the beginning and end dates of the climatological period for Changma. Solid and dotted lines represent convective and stratiform rain clouds, respectively.
