(c) Time series of Rain rate (mm/hr) obtained from AWS. (d) Time-height pattern of horizontalwinds (zonal-meridional winds) observed during the passage of Meiyu precipitating cloud systems, and (e) and(f) Surface wind speed, direction (g) temperature, H 2 O and Pressure observed from AWS at Dongshan.From the vertical structure of the precipitating cloud systems, we have classified eachpro<strong>file</strong> into convective, transition (mixed convective-stratiform) and stratiform rain based ona modified version of Williams et al. (1995). This algorithm is based on judgment of thepresence of a melting layer and the presence of turbulence or hydrometeors above themelting layer. In order to investigate the diurnal variation of occurrence of each precipitatingcloud type, the data obtained by Dongshan-wind pro<strong>file</strong>r have been analyzed. Althoughrainfall could be observed at any time a day, it is noted that there existed distinct diurnalWind Speed, m/s10864225Temp. & H 2 020151050(f)(g)Wind speedWind directionTemperature (deg.
