Figure 3

The time series of maximum vertical vorticity below two kilometers from 0230 UTC to 0330 UTC 5 May 2007 every one minute. The horizontal axis shows the time in UTC; the vertical axis shows the vertical vorticity values in units of sāˆ’1. The black line is for experiment NoDP1, the red line for experiment DP1, the blue line for DP1m5, and the green line for DP1d5.
