To derive TB parameters (maximum, mean, minimum, area) for several circles and annuli (within radius of 2 degrees) centered at TC center for TCs in To analyze principal components representing TB pattern using the TB parameters. 3. To derive a regression equation to explain MSW by using the most contributive 6 principal components obtained in Step 2.

22 Diagnosis of TC intensity using upper-tropospheric AMVs
23 Purpose: To diagnose TC intensification by capturing uppertropospheric wind fields which are controlled by upward fluxes of mass and angular momentum by convection. Data: High-level IR-AMVs and WV-AMVs over cloudyregion (above 400 hpa level, QI>0.3) from imagery of geostationary satellites MTSAT and Himawari-8 (interval of imagery: 5-15 min) Cyclonic 台 Outflow Anti-Cyclonic Upward transport of angular momentum Method: Step 1: Integrated AMV dataset of high-level IR- AMV and WV-AMV (called high-level AMV ) prepared Step 2: Azimuthally averages of tangential and radial components of the AMVs for annuli of 6 radii (50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300km) derived Step 3: Max tangential wind (UMaxWind) and radial wind (UMaxOutflow) from azimuthally averaged wind components are used for diagnosing TC intensity and structure. R=50km R=100km R=150km R=200km R=250km R=300km

For TCs with a RMW of km, the estimates had a RMSD (bias) of 5.55 hpa (0.69 hpa). The accuracy was higher when the distances between the TC center and the radar location was shorter.
