Variations of MCSs are analyzed based on six criteria of convective cloud organization derived from area, duration and eccentricity characteristics. The result shows that monthly average of six types of MCSs in the IMC region forms a bimodal pattern with two peaks at March to May (MAM) and September to November (SON). A statistical analysis exhibit a maximum frequency occurrence of six types of MCSs in the region of equatorial rainfall type, which amount of events up to 40%, where the greatest contribution concentrated in the Indian Ocean, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. Diurnal pattern of MCSs in the IMC shows maturity time of MCSs mostly occurred in the evening to early morning. The typical occurrence of MCSs in this study is different compared to United States and China types, whereas IMC has balanced proportion amounts between linear and circular shape types, while United States and China region were dominated by linear type.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Convective clouds,Geostationary meteorological satellites,Infrared brightness temperature,Maritime Continent,Maximum frequency,Mesoscale Convective System,Precipitation data,Tropical rainfall measuring missions[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1204/1/012124[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
