Fig. 5: Tropical cyclone (TC) intensity, rain rate, and vertical velocity of TC in the numerical experiments.
From: Recent global decrease in the inner-core rain rate of tropical cyclones
CTRL (black line): the default Jordan’s sounding and 28 °C sea surface temperature (SST), exp_1 (red line): the atmospheric stability increases by 2% and SST increases by 0.5 °C based on CTRL. a The running mean of 5-points of the maximum wind speed (Vmax), unit: m s−1. b The radial rain rate, unit: mm h−1. c The difference in rain rate (exp_1 – CTRL), unit: mm h−1, and d The difference in vertical velocity (exp_1 – CTRL) in a vertical east-west cross-section across the TC center, unit: m s–1. Details of the experimental design are described in “Methods”.
