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.
