On the Localized Extreme Rainfall over the Great Bay Area in South China with Complex Topography and Strong UHI Effects

In this study, high-resolution surface and radar observations are used to analyze 24 localized extreme hourly rainfall (EXHR; >60 mm h −1 ) events with strong urban heat island (UHI) effects over the Great Bay Area (GBA) in South China during the 2011–16 warm seasons. Quasi-idealized, convection-...
