Abstract

The rapid filamentation zones in intense tropical cyclones was discussed. Radar data was used to show the weak stratiform precipitation in the moat. It was found that clouds were highly distorted and suppressed in regions where the filamental time was less than the timescale of moist overturning. It was observed that rapid filamentation zones occurred in a circular region at a radius smaller than the initial bactropically unstable ring of vorticity. Analysis shows the nondivergent barotropic system, strain-dominated flow was the reason for the formation of a moat.
