PISTON Data

Colored circles in (a) are the evolution of the hourly median reflectivity profile from gridded SEA-POL data. Contoured in black are the relative radial winds of Typhoon Kong-Rey derived from the thermodynamic profiles exceeding 20 m s-1. (b)–(h) Vertical dotted lines indicate the times of the corresponding 2-km altitude horizontal cross sections. The gray shaded region is where SEA-POL was not transmitting and collecting observations, which changes with ship heading. Times where no solar radiation is affecting the cloud distribution sare denoted for reference. Both color bars use increments of 2 dBZ; however, the evolution of the median reflectivity and the cross sections use slightly different color bars because of the differences in the range of values.
