Description:The tropical cyclone (TC) in East Asia varies strongly each year, indicating the different spectral characteristics of the TC cloud systems (TCCSs) with the distance from the center of TC. We report a new perspective of optical properties of TCCS by using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission data over the years from 2010 to 2014 for the 35 TCs in East Asia. Weinvestigate the spatial distribution of the cloud-top height, radar re flectivity, polarization corrected temperature in 85.5 GHz ( PCT 85.5), hydrometeor vertical pro file, cloud water path, cloud optical thickness, and cloud particle effective radius of TCCS in the development, maturity, and decay stages of TC. The resultsindicate the signi ficant differences of cloud characteristics in the maturity stage in comparison to other two
