## Abstract Although mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are the main source of precipitation in the semiβarid Sahel region, the relationship between MCS characteristics and their generated precipitation remain unclear. However, a thorough understanding of this relation is essential to work towards

## Abstract The anvil clouds of tropical mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in West Africa, the Maritime Continent and the Bay of Bengal have been examined with TRMM and CloudSat satellite data and ARM groundβbased radar observations. The anvils spreading out from the precipitating cores of MCSs a
## Abstract It has been generally accepted that increasing aerosols suppress precipitation. The aerosolβinduced precipitation suppression was suggested by the study of shallow stratiform clouds. Recent studies of convective clouds showed increasing aerosols could increase precipitation. Those studi
