In this paper, 12-h sea level pressure (SLP) change is analyzed to find an instance of the most rapid deepening in a cyclone's life. Therefore, the definition of EC given by Sanders and Gyakum is revised to be a cyclone whose central SLP decrease normalized at 60°N is greater than 12 hPa within 12 h [2]. The deepening rate of cyclone SLP is calculated with the following formula:
Deepening rate of cyclone SLP (hPa h-1) = $\left(\frac{P_{t-6}-P_{t+6}}{12}\right) \times\left(\frac{\sin 60^{\circ}}{\sin \frac{\varnothing_{t-6}+\varnothing_{t+6}}{2}}\right) $
where t is time in hours, P is the central SLP, and $ \varnothing$ is the latitude of the cyclone center. Subscripts"t-6"and "t+6"represent variables of 6h before and after present time t, respectively.
In a free atmosphere, the PV equation in isobaric coordinates (P coordinates) is as follows (Yin et al. [45]):
$$ \mathrm{PV}=-\mathrm{g}(\zeta+f) \frac{\partial \theta}{\partial p}, $$ where g is the acceleration of gravity, θ is the potential temperature, p is the pressure, ζ is the relative vorticity, and f is the Coriolis parameter. The units commonly used for the presentation of PV are 10-6m2s-1 Kkg-1, termed as the PV unit (PVU). The region where the PV is greater than 1.5 PVU is defined as the high PV region.
