Simulations show complex rainfall patterns over tropical mountains with dual peaks

A high-density rain gauge observational network in Taiwan reveals that multiple precipitation peaks exist over the mountainous island during summer afternoon convection. This contrasts with previous studies that identified only a single peak, suggesting that more complex physical processes may be involved in diurnal convection over mountainous islands.
