This paper investigated the spatial and vertical structures of precipitating clouds, which are strongly linked with the background dynamics during extreme precipitation event. The weakening of TEJ at upper troposphere resulted in decrease of vertical shear, which favours the vertical growth of convective clouds leading to the extreme precipitation. The enhanced strength of LLJ is also contributed to the precipitation extreme event.

The present study examines the role of tropical cyclones in the enhancement of tropospheric ozone. The most significant and new observation reported is the increase in the upper-tropospheric ozone by 20–50 ppbv, which has extended down to the middle and lower troposphere. The descent rate of enhanced ozone layer during the passage of tropical cyclone is 0.8–1 km day⁻¹. Enhancement of surface ozone concentration by ~ 10 ppbv in the daytime and 10–15 ppbv at night-time is observed.
