Fig. 2

Lowest available radar reflectivity (dBZ, color shading) from the WFS radar at a 1857 UTC on 24 June and b 2331 UTC on 24 June 2011. The terrain height is depicted by contours at 500, 1500, and 2500 m MSL. The typhoon center is marked with a typhoon symbol. The hollow arrows in a and b denote convective elements with enhanced reflectivities (>40 dBZ) embedded within the banded features of precipitation (i.e., typhoon rainband) or the region of widespread stratiform precipitation (see details in the text).
