DEEP PENETRATIVE CONVECTION AND GENERATION OF WAVEOSCILLATION OBSERVED WITH THE CHUNG-LI VHF RADARJ. Röttger 2.1 , M.L. Hsu 1 , W.C. Tsai 1 , C.J. Pan 1 and J. Wu 11 Institute of Space Science, National Central University, Chung-Li, Taiwan2Max-Planck-Institut, 37191 Katlenburg-Lindau, GermanyDuring September and October 2001 three typhoons passed the island of Taiwan. The Chung-LiVHF radar was operated continuously during most of these events, such as in earlier times(Röttger et al., 1991). We will discuss the radar reflectivity structures of these three typhoons inthe companion paper by Pan et al. (this issue), which differ significantly between these typhoons.We often find periodically recurring convection episodes in the meso-beta scale, which reach upto the middle and partially upper troposphere. Additionally the rainfall rate was measured and wecompare this in the companion paper <strong>with</strong> the radar reflectivity and vertical velocity due toconvection, measured <strong>with</strong> the VHF radar.Radial velocity in vertical beamReflectivity in vertical beam1 hFig. 1 Height-time-intensity plots of velocity and radar reflectivity(combination of ‘clear-air’ and precipitation (
