of (a) wind direction (red, degN), wind speed (dashed, m
s-1), zonal wind speed (green, m
s-1), meridional wind speed (cyan, m
s-1), and (b) surface pressure (yellow, hPa),
potential temperature (black, K), and mixing ratio content (blue, g
kg-1), from November 2013–March 2014, at a selected
surface location (8ºN– 66.5ºW; Aguaro-Guariquito National Park,
Venezuela) along the axis of propagation L (Fig. 5). The zonal and
meridional wind speeds are negative (easterly and northerly components,
respectively). |
