Observed rainfall asymmetry of tropical cyclone in the process of making landfall in Guangdong, south China

This study investigates the rainfall asymmetry of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the process of making landfall in Guangdong (GD), south China, on the basis of satellite‐based and reanalysis precipitation data. We mainly focus on TC rainfall asymmetry, its main influencing factor and its change in the process of landfall, and the difference between different El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phases. The results reveal that vertical wind shear...
