Figure 5. The convective updraft volume flux () and clear air vertical velocity () at 6.8 days, plotted as a function of radius from the storm center, in a run identical to the control but with the initial entropy deficit of the middle troposphere, reduced to . For perspective, the radius and velocity scales have been expressed in dimensional terms using the typical scaling values shown in Table 1. A new eyewall has just formed near km radius ; it then moved slowly inward while the inner eyewall dissipated.
