Abstract:Typhoon In-fa (202106) formed on July 18, 2021, and became an extratropical cyclone on July 30, with a life history of 13 d.It affected 14 provinces and cities in eastern China.Its main characteristics are slow moving speed, long retention time on land and large accumulated rainfall.Based on multi-channel observations and products from geostationary meteorological satellites, polar-orbiting meteorological satellites and global precipitation measurement satellites, this paper analyzes the influence process of Typhoon In-fa.Results show that the spatial scale of Typhoon In-fa is large, with the maximum radius of about 350 km.Before landing, the convection is deep and the spiral characteristics of the cloud system are significant.After landing, the cloud system structure is destroyed and the medium convection is densely distributed but unorganized.When Typhoon In-fa is on the ocean surface, the liquid water and ice water are rich and show asymmetric distribution.After landing, the liquid and ice water are mainly concentrated on the right side of forward direction of the typhoon.Based on microwave imager, the retrieved precipitation rate show that the precipitation mainly locates in the spiral rain belt around the typhoon, and the position and area are in good agreement with the observations.Although there is a certain deviation between the estimated precipitation and the observed precipitation, it is still useful for precipitation forecasting, especially in regions where the conventional data are scarce.
