The role of clouds in such a relationship is relatively uncertain. Here, we investigate the cloud\u2013precipitation\u2013temperature relationships over the Indochina Peninsula during the summer monsoon transition. The negative correlation between cloudiness\/precipitation and surface maximum temperature is valid on seasonal and interannual timescales. The near-surface temperature exhibits interdecadal variability and a long-term warming trend. The warming trend has accelerated in the past two decades. In the anomalous warm years, the remarkably strong western Pacific subtropical high inhibits the development of clouds, especially the middle and high cloud-top regimes, leading to the suppression of deep convection and precipitation. There are more optically thin (moderate to thick) clouds with smaller (larger) effective radii in the high cloud-top regime for the warm (cold) years. The dominance of shallow cumulus is a distinct feature in the warm years. The daytime heating of enhanced surface insolation due to decreased cloudiness is worsened by the dry condition of the precipitation deficit. The water vapor warming effect can prevent an efficient drop in nighttime temperature, thereby exacerbating the warm condition under the warming trend. The cloud\u2013precipitation\u2013temperature relationships coupling with the monsoon development can be used to diagnose the regional scale cloud\u2013climate interactions in climate models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14164077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,22]],"date-time":"2022-08-22T01:56:40Z","timestamp":1661133400000},"page":"4077","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Warming Trend and Cloud Responses over the Indochina Peninsula during Monsoon Transition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9438-074X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mien-Tze","family":"Kueh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Environmental Changes, Academia Sinica, Taipei 11529, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0005-7088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chuan-Yao","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Environmental Changes, Academia Sinica, Taipei 11529, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2451","DOI":"10.1175\/1520-0442(1999)012<2451:EOCSMP>2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Effects of clouds, soil moisture, precipitation, and water vapor on diurnal temperature range","volume":"12","author":"Dai","year":"1999","journal-title":"J.
