FIG. 13. Schematic illustration of the speculated factors prompting the RI of Typhoon Chanthu under the moderate-shear environment. The black curved arrow indicates the main flow of the TC. The black straight arrows indicate the TDF in the boundary layer. The blue, green, and gold horizontal arrows indicate the mean flow at 3, 5, and 8 km, respectively. The gray, cyan, and orange vertical arrows indicate the deep-, lower-, and upper-layer meso-β VWS, respectively. The circle indicates the TC inner-core region, which is separated into DL, UL, UR, and DR quadrants under the shear-relative framework.
