“…However, it was found in the forecasting practice that the RI still can not be accurately predicted using solely the knowledge of environmental field and thermodynamics. Many researchers have realized that the cloud and precipitation process inside a TC is closely related to its intensity variation (Liu et al., 2022; Ruan & Wu, 2018; Sun et al., 2021), and the observation of TC cloud‐precipitation characteristics during RI process is of great significance for determining the physical mechanism controlling RI. As TC RI usually occur away from land, and ocean is a relatively data‐sparse region with scarce ground observations and high‐cost buoys/ships, satellites become a preferable method in the detection of TC cloud and precipitation.…”

Using multi‐satellite observations, the cloud dynamic and microphysical characteristics were revealed during the rapid intensification (RI) of super‐typhoon Nanmadol (2022). As the storm intensifies, the eyewall contracts, the upper‐level divergence strengthens, and the cirrus cloud increases, leading to stronger upper‐level radial outflow and the vertical updraft. Meanwhile, it is found that there exists a dynamically attractive area in the outer rainbands, where particles grow effectively and form “a small amount of large particles” around 300 km from the eye. A theory of cloud dynamics‐microphysics interaction, called “tunnel theory,” is further proposed to explain the generation, accumulation, and concentrated downflow of large particles in the outer rainbands during RI. Results suggest the unique feature of particle distribution in the outer rainbands could be a potential indicator for RI.

This study analyzes hydrometeor evolution during rapid intensification (RI) and tropical cyclone (TC) intensity dependence using satellite data. Previous studies have suggested ice cloud water or non‐convective precipitation as a predictor of RI from different perspectives. However, few studies have focused on the impact of TC intensity or comprehensive comparisons to identify better indicators. During RI, hydrometeor contents in weak TCs increase over the entire region, whereas they increase mainly in the inner‐core region and decrease in advance in the outer‐core region for strong TCs. Hydrometeor contents in the inner‐core are higher in RI than in slow intensification, and their maxima location is related to TC intensity and intensification rate. Cloud water path (CWP) in the inner‐core region is most correlated with the intensification rate, especially in weak TCs. Therefore, the CWP can serve as a predictor of RI and can be applied to all TC intensities.
