Figure 3. Composite maps at maximum deepening rate of VADV, relative vorticity at 300 hPa (left column), TADV, potemtial temperature and gradient at 850 hPa (center column), LATH and precipitable water (right column) for OJ ((a) - (c)), PO-L ((d) - (f)), and PO-O ((g) - (i)) cyclones. Black circles show cyclone centers 6 hours after maximum deepening rate adn center of figure shows cyclone center.
