Abstract

This study diagnoses the contribution of MCSs to TC formation by examining 124 cases in the WNP during 1999-2004 based on satellite data. At least one MCS is found in almost all the cases, and some large-scale synoptic patterns (e.g., the monsoon related) are more favorable for MCS development. In some others (e.g., easterly wave), deep convection may concentrate near the system center. Moreover, some characteristic profiles of convection two days before formation are identified.
