Research actuality of remote sensing on cloud precipitation and reflections on summer East Asian cloud precipitation

In terms of the characteristics of cloud precipitation in a wide range of cognitive space, remote sensing by active and passive multi-instruments carried by satellites has unique advantages. From view of multi-source satellite remote sensing in this paper, the first part succinctly reviews satellite remote sensing inversion of macroscopic and micromicroscopic parameters, cloud parameters and cloud radiative forcing, relationship between cloud parameters and precipitation and its latent heat profiles, the effect of aerosol on cloud precipitation through literature review. The shortcomings related to the aforementioned four aspects in East Asian Monsoon are also discussed. In the end, this paper puts forward the idea of using multi-source satellite observations to study the structure of East Asian cloud precipitation in summer.
