Abstract
ABSTRACT Typhoon Vicente (2012) underwent rapid intensification (RI) within 24 h before landfall in Mainland China. Analysis of the large-scale environment and characteristics of Vicente identifies the aforementioned intensification as classic RI. The process occurred in an environmental flow with a deep-layer shear ranging from 5 ms− 1 to 8 ms− 1. Convection caused by persistent vertical shear forcing of the vortex was observed primarily in the down-shear left quadrant of the storm. However, radar and satellite observations indicate that the northern convection of the inner core of Vicente quickly developed in the down-shear right three hours near landfall.
