Abstract

An account is given on the evolution and structure of Typhoon Alex before and after its landfall in Taiwan using data collected by the Civil Aeronautic Administration (CAA) Doppler radar with applications to the ground-based velocity-track-display (GBVTD) technique. Alex's structure is discussed via the GBVTD-retrieved axisymmetric and asymmetric winds. Emphasis is placed on the structure and intensity change before, during and after Alex's landfall on northern Taiwan.
