英文摘要	Multiplatform observations of the life cycle of a tropical continental mesoscale cloud cluster (CC) during the Indian summer monsoon, which contributed more than similar to 70mm of rainfall over the arid peninsular Indian region, are presented in this study. The CC was characterized by a deep warm cloud layer with isolated convective cells in the initiation phase, merging of several deep cumulus clouds (similar to 6 km) during the mature phase, growing up to similar to 15 km with mixed-phase and ice-phase cloud microphysical processes. Throughout the life cycle of the CC, polarimetric radar analyses revealed size sorting of falling raindrops, growth of dendritic particles, riming, aggregation, the occurrence of a saggy bright band, etc. The formation of big raindrops is observed during the initial convective rain, associated with the melting of hail. The stratiform counterpart is primarily associated with aggregates, ice crystals, and melting snow, resulting in surface rainfall. Aggregates are found to be the spatially dominant hydrometeor followed by ice crystals. The presence of vertically oriented ice crystals indicates active cloud electrification processes during the spatial aggregation of convective clouds. The dominant microphysical processes and precipitation pathways are illustrated. The study forms a benchmark case for model intercomparisons and evaluations.
