Figure: Himawari-9 airmass RGB imagery, above, shows the extratropical transition of Typhoon Ampil. At the beginning of the animation, the typhoon is approaching Japan from the south. By 0000 UTC on 17 August, the typhoon has moved east of Japan, and a Potential Vorticity anomaly just west of the storm (identifiable by the orange hue in the RGB) suggests the storm is starting to become extratropical.
