(a) Low-level composite radar reflectivity (dBZ) from the CWB radars at 0236 UTC 10 Aug associated with a TCR identified from Typhoon Saola (2012). The inset box shows the zoomed-in area in (b). (b) The geometric definition of the rear and front side for the TCR. Radar reflectivities greater than 35 and 40 dBZ are indicated by contour and shading, respectively. In this case, the rear (front) side is exactly equivalent to the inner (outer) side as the rainband moves towards the outer side of the typhoon. The definition of the cross-band and along-band velocities are also highlighted, with positive values away from the typhoon center and in the direction of the cyclonic typhoon circulation, respectively.
