«Warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific is greater than the surrounding regions... making it easy to move convection and [the tropical] rainband to the eastern equatorial Pacific. (carbonbrief.org)
With the reconstruction, we can now identify regions in the inner core and rainbands that have large amounts of cloud ice, including a ring pattern at the inner core. (eos.org)
Lightning in the eye wall preceded storm weakening and corresponds to cold brightness temperatures sensed by GPM, whereas lightning in the rainbands indicates regions of strong convection that the satellite missed. (eos.org)
