Abstract In this study, linkage between changing characteristics of precipitation extremes and cloud covers over Central India is explored during summer monsoon period using Satellite data (1998–2015). This is a first attempt to relate the changes in cloud cover to the changes in precipitation extremes. Non-rainy cirrus clouds are excluded from this study. Results show that heavy rainfall (≥ 60 mm/day) is associated with cold cloud tops (Tb≤220 K) while moderate rainfall ( 220 K and ≤245 K). Low level clouds (Tb> 245 K) are responsible for light rainfall (

印度中部云量变化与极端降水之间的联系

摘要 在这项研究中，使用卫星数据（1998-2015）探索了夏季风期间印度中部降水极端变化特征与云量之间的联系。这是将云量变化与极端降水变化联系起来的第一次尝试。本研究排除了非下雨卷云。结果表明，强降雨（≥ 60 毫米/天）与冷云顶（Tb≤220 K）有关，而中等降雨（220 K 和≤245 K）与云顶有关。低层云（Tb> 245 K）是造成小雨的原因（
