The findings indicated the following: (1) The rain belt of this precipitation event showed a southwest\u2013northeast trend. During the vigorous development of convection, the rainfall intensity and total precipitation at the station increased, with a wider raindrop spectrum, and the raindrop spectrum of this precipitation process was unimodal. (2) On 3 April, the interaction between the eastward movement of the plateau trough at 500 hPa and the upper-level jet stream at 200 hPa in the eastern Tibetan Plateau and the Sichuan Basin area, along with the necessary conditions for precipitation, such as energy and moisture, led to severe convective rainfall. (3) This intense convective precipitation process was caused by the vigorous convective clouds that developed in the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau. As these clouds developed and moved eastward out of the plateau, they precipitated with increased turbulence intensity at the station, leading to the generation of intense convective activities at the site. (4) One hour before the precipitation, there were significant increases in horizontal wind speed, vertical air velocity, and turbulence intensity within the boundary layer, and there were also significant changes in the horizontal wind direction. The results obtained can provide important theoretical references for the prediction of severe convective rainfall and the performance of numerical simulations thereon.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16234376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,25]],"date-time":"2024-11-25T08:38:24Z","timestamp":1732523904000},"page":"4376","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Case Study on the Impact of Boundary Layer Turbulence on Convective Clouds in the Eastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ting","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Atmospheric Sciences, Plateau Atmosphere and Environment Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu Plain Urban Meteorology and Environment Observation and Research Station of Sichuan Province, Chengdu University of Information Technology, Chengdu 610225, China"}]},{"given":"Maoshan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Atmospheric Sciences, Plateau Atmosphere and Environment Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu Plain Urban Meteorology and Environment Observation and Research Station of Sichuan Province, Chengdu University of Information Technology, Chengdu 610225, China"}]},{"given":"Yonghao","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Atmospheric Sciences, Plateau Atmosphere and Environment Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu Plain Urban Meteorology and Environment Observation and Research Station of Sichuan Province, Chengdu University of Information Technology, Chengdu 610225, China"}]},{"given":"Yuchen","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Atmospheric Sciences, Plateau Atmosphere and Environment Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu Plain Urban Meteorology and Environment Observation and Research Station of Sichuan Province, Chengdu University of Information Technology, Chengdu 610225, China"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Meteorological Bureau of Changde City, Changde 415000, China"}]},{"given":"Shaoyang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Atmospheric Sciences, Plateau Atmosphere and Environment Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu Plain Urban Meteorology and Environment Observation and Research Station of Sichuan Province, Chengdu University of Information Technology, Chengdu 610225, China"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Atmospheric Sciences, Plateau Atmosphere and Environment Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu Plain Urban Meteorology and Environment Observation and Research Station of Sichuan Province, Chengdu University of Information Technology, Chengdu 610225, China"}]},{"given":"Yaoming","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Tibetan Environment Changes and Land Surface Processes, Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CAS Center for Excellence in Tibetan Plateau Earth Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5632-3931","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fanglin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Land Surface Process and Climate Change in Cold and Arid Regions, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"An, N.
