【摘要】 本文总结了近几十年来暖季（5～10月）南海热带天气系统及中尺度对流过程的相关研究进展。聚焦暖季南海中尺度对流过程，概述性回顾了与南海中尺度对流过程相关的热带大气环流和夏季风的基本特征，影响南海中尺度对流发生、发展的重要天气系统，并着重归纳了南海中尺度对流系统的活动规律、结构特征与形成机理。在此基础上，探讨了当前及未来南海中尺度对流过程研究面临的机遇与挑战，并指明了未来该领域的研究方向。更多还原

【Abstract】 This review summarizes the research progresses on tropical synoptic systems and mesoscale convective processes during the warm season(May–October) over the South China Sea in recent decades. The basic characteristics of tropical atmospheric circulation and summer monsoon related to mesoscale convective processes are briefly reviewed.Furthermore, the activity regularities, structural features, and formation mechanisms of mesoscale convective systems are emphatically summarized. Opportunities and challenges involving mesoscale convective processes currently occurring over the South China Sea are identified, and future research directions in this field are highlighted.更多还原
