Typhoon 'Tembin' Eyewall Contraction Upon Landfall
Thu Aug 23 2012 05:20 PM

Last post ... for now. Typhoon 'Tembin' appears to be very close to landfall, with Taiwan's SE'ern coastline now nearly bisecting the eye.

Interestingly, it appears that the cyclone, despite making landfall, appears to tightening and even plausibly strengthening just a tad more, as suggested by these last few frames of the animated Doppler radar loop (time sensitive!), showing a slow and steady contraction of the "inner eyewall" (or whatever that feature is!) while making landfall, and the calm, inner eye itself becoming progressively smaller and smaller.

There is even a frame or two (and again shown in the zoomed still, above) where the radar reflectivity briefly attains 60 dBZ (pink), which I believe is quite strong for a tropical cyclone eyewall. Again, your thoughts? I'm certainly no radar expert.

PS: I like to click "Topography Not Displayed", as it shows the radar reflectivity better.
