Clouds in Tropical Cyclones (2010, background): “…in the distant rainbands can sometimes develop arc-shaped radar-echo lines, similar to a bow echo (Fujita 1978; Lee et al. 1992; Jorgensen and Smull 1993; Weisman 2001; Davis et al. 2004; Wakimoto et al. 2006a,b), which is a signature of strong downdraft spreading out below a convective cell.”
