Simulation of Rapid Intensification of Super Typhoon Lekima (2019). Part I: Evolution Characteristics of Asymmetric Convection Under Upper-Level Vertical Wind Shear

The role of the upper-level vertical wind shear (VWS) on the rapid intensification (RI) of super typhoon Lekima (2019) is investigated with a high-resolution numerical simulation. Our simulation shows that under moderate upper-level easterly VWS, the tilting-induced convective asymmetry is transport...
