Typhoon JELAWAT (13W) / T0008


Horizobtal Cross Section of Rain at 2.0km Height
1-10 Aug, 2000 (UTC)

The eye of the typhoon shown here was small at the early stage, but the diameter expanded up until about 100 km in next several days as it gradually decayed. The decay can be seen from the subsiding eyewall and the weakening of the associated rainfall. The typhoon with such a large eye is unusual.
