Horizontal wind structure (wind speed contour and wind vector) at the storm center at 850 hPa from (a) regional nature run, (b) control run, (c) data assimilation Experiment , and (d) data assimilation Experiment at 0600 UTC 01 October 2005. The contour interval of wind speed is 3 m s-1, the areas with wind speed exceeding 20 m s-1 are shaded.
