Comparison of the seasonal cycle of tropical and subtropical precipitation over East Asian monsoon area

The East Asian monsoon includes the tropical monsoon and subtropical monsoon. They are different systems, and the formation mechanisms and major weather systems are not similar, and thus, the structures and characteristics of the associated tropical and subtropical monsoon rainfall and precipitation differ. The properties of precipitation can indicate thermodynamic and dynamic structures and cloud microphysics, and can reflect many characteristics associated with the onset and variation of monsoon, so is the focus of this paper.
