Evaluation of Global NWP Data on the Convection Environment over the Data-Sparse Northern South China Sea by Long-Term Observations

Key Points

• The evaluation finds that global NWP data is crucial for understanding the convection environment in this region.
• Key evidence indicates that long-term observations improve the accuracy of current convection models significantly.
• Systematic analysis of meteorological data using longitudinal observation techniques provides the foundation for this evaluation.
• Highlights the need for enhanced meteorological models that can better predict convection in data-sparse areas.
