Shifts in reflectivity and dual-polarization characteristics of four precipitation types over two time periods, at the beginning and end of the MJO passage over the radar, showed a transition towards shorter bursts of more intense convective precipitation over a smaller portion of the radar domain. These convective elements displayed greater upscale organization as the surrounding environment gradually became more strongly sheared with greater instability, associated with persistent lower-level dry-air advection from the westerly wind burst. These bursts of convection, especially in the first time period, appeared with periodic dry-air intrusions into the central equatorial Indian Ocean. The changes in the vertical distribution of ice particles indicate that graupel progressively occurred over a greater depth, associated with the overall increasing intensity of convective precipitation.
