AB: Tropical Storm Bilis (2006) made a landfall on Fujian, China on 14 July 2006, and caused direct economic losses of 34.83B Chinese dollars, 654 deaths and 208 missing. In this paper, the cloud-precipitation microphysical properties associated with Bilis are constructed using various observation data including CloudSat and Doppler radar data. The cloud microphysical properties include vertical hydrometeor profiles retrieved from satellite and radar measurements and precipitation microphysical properties contain surface rainfall measurements from mesonet rain gauge observations. Different development stages of Bilis are identified with different cloud- precipitation microphysical properties. Cloud-precipitation microphysical properties associated with individual convective cells from different stages including the landfall are also studied.
