Multisource observations were used to reveal multiscale processes contributing to the extreme rainfall. The results showed that a marine boundary layer jet (BLJ) coupled with a synoptic low-level jet (LLJ) inland played an important role in the formation of an extremely humid environment with a very low lifting condensation level of near-surface air. Under the favorable pre-convective conditions, convection was initialized at a mesoscale convergence line, aided by topographic lifting in the evening. During the nocturnal hours, the rainstorm developed and was maintained by a quasi-stationary mesoscale outflow boundary, which continuously lifted warm, moist air transported by the enhanced BLJ. When producing the extreme rainfall rates, the storm possessed relatively weak convection, with the 40 dBZ echo top hardly reaching 6 km. The extreme rainfall was produced mainly by the warm rain microphysical processes, mainly because the humid environment and the deep warm cloud layer facilitated the clouds\u2019 condensational growth and collision\u2013coalescence, and also reduced rain evaporation. As the storm evolved, the raindrop concentration increased rapidly from its initial stage and remained high until its weakening stage, but the mean raindrop size changed little. The extreme rain was characterized by the highest concentration of raindrops during the storm\u2019s lifetime with a mean size of raindrops slightly larger than the maritime regime.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14133110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,29]],"date-time":"2022-06-29T01:48:38Z","timestamp":1656467318000},"page":"3110","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Multiscale Perspectives on an Extreme Warm-Sector Rainfall Event over Coastal South China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5844-0872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yiliang","family":"Pu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangmen Meteorological Bureau, China Meteorological Administration, Jiangmen 529030, China"}]},{"given":"Sheng","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Marine Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, Guangzhou 510641, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5447-3255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yali","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Severe Weather, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5110-7359","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiantong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Marine Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, Guangzhou 510641, China"}]},{"given":"Lihua","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangmen Meteorological Bureau, China Meteorological Administration, Jiangmen 529030, China"}]},{"given":"Langming","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangmen Meteorological Bureau, China Meteorological Administration, Jiangmen 529030, China"}]},{"given":"Huiqi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Marine Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, Guangzhou 510641, China"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Marine Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, Guangzhou 510641, China"}]},{"given":"Lingyu","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangmen Meteorological Bureau, China Meteorological Administration, Jiangmen 529030, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Tao, S.
