•  Through the analysis of Doppler radar data, this study focuses on the characteristics and evolution of convection embedded within the principal band in Typhoon Morakot (2009) under the impingement of the intense southwesterly (SW) monsoonal flow. The intensity of the SW flow is comparable with the typhoon circulation at the third quadrant. The kinematic analysis shows that the northward component of the SW flow decelerates while approaching the rainband, creating significant convergence zones which results in the initiation and development of convective cells within the principal band. The vertical kinematic characteristics of the rainband reveal two types of downdrafts namely inner-edge and low-level downdrafts. The inner-edge downdrafts coupled by the radially inward tilting convection were initiated by the precipitation drag. Dynamically, the existence of the perturbed high at 1.5 km altitude in the inner-edge downdrafts supported the finding. Furthermore, it is evident that the distribution of two perturbation highs in the vicinity of the rainband could lead to SW flow deformation locally and fortify the mechanism of convergence, resulting in the merging of convective cells into the rainband. The maximum vertical vorticity coupled with the horizontal wind maximum at the middle levels of the rainband was also observed.
