Summary:Chan et al investigate the asymmetric distribution of convection associated with tropical cyclones making landfall along the south China coast using Geostationary Meteorological Satellite 5 data and Doppler radar data. Four tropical cyclones are chosen as case studies to examine the changes in the distribution of convection prior to, during, and after landfall.
