Polarimetric Radar Observations of Biological Scatterers in the Eye of Typhoon Lekima (2019)

Abstract

Tropical cyclones not only cause strong winds and heavy rainfall, but they can alsofacilitate the transport of birds and insects from tropical regions to areas along their paths. Before super Typhoon Lekima made landfall in 2019, an operational polarimetric radar in Wenzhou City observed biological scatterers in the typhoon's eye. These scatterers were likely birds and insects that were trapped in the calm center of the typhoon by strong winds and heavy rain. The polarimetric variables of these biological scatterers had specific characteristics: low reflectivity factor (Z_H) values with a median of 7.5 dBZ, low cross-correlation coefficient (ρ_hv) values with a median of 0.65, large differential reflectivity (Z_DR) values with a median of 2.8 dB and a maximum of ∼7.8 dB, and widely-distributed differential phase (Φ_DP) values with 25th and 75th percentiles ranging from 1.8° to 36.0° and a median of 20.1°. When the edge of the eye reached the coastline, the birds and insects landed, with the biological scatterer signature changing from a circular shape to a band shape. We further compared Lekima with Atlantic Hurricane Irene which happened in 2011, and both storms had similar polarimetric characteristics contributed by both birds and insects. However, the biological echoes in Lekima better exhibited the characteristics of birds with a larger proportion of samples with Z_DR lower than 5 dB as well as large Φ_DP and low ρ_hv values. This finding could help to understand the role of typhoons in driving biological migration between oceans and/or islands and continents.

1)   but they can also: Tropical cyclones not only cause … but also facilitate …

2)   super Typhoon Lekima: Super (upper case S).

3)   landed: I don’t know if they actually landed, or simply dropped dead.

4)   We further compared: It should be “We then compared …” “Further” is often misused in this way.

5)   with Atlantic Hurricane Irene which happened in 2011, … There are more than one way to fix this: a) change “which” to “that”; b) use “with Atlantic Hurricane Irene in 2011.” Regardless, the comma should be “;” or a period.

6)    as well as: No

7)   This finding could help to understand: This finding can help understand …
