摘要
Diurnal variations in contraction of the radius of maximum tangential wind (RMW) of tropical cyclones (TCs) were assessed using best-track data for 2001-2018. For RMW contractions before TC intensification, the largest RMW contraction rate in 6 hr at 0300-0900 local solar time (LST) was associated with the maximum coverage of very deep convective clouds with infrared brightness temperatures <208 K at 0300-0600 LST, which were found mostly outside the mean RMW. The maximum RMW contraction rate and maximum intensification rate occurred simultaneously in 6 hr at 0300-0900 LST for rapidly intensifying storms associated with the greatest coverage of very deep convective cloud at 0300-0600 LST at storm center. This was not the case for nonrapidly intensifying storms. The time-dependence of RMW contraction indicates the importance of radiative forcing on TC structure.
