Monsoons are generally considered to be developed by land-ocean differential heating. However, it is revealed from
the one to two months time lag between the maximum lightning activity/surface temperature and the monsoon rain
onset that the diabatic heating generated by deep cumulus convection is another driving mechanism for monsoon
development. The TRMM LIS observations, rainfall measurements, and the ERA-40 reanalyses were analyzed to
demonstrate this monsoon development.
