Zoom over the event of 20–23 March 2006: (a) daily pattern of the 700 hPa unfiltered positive vorticity (×10−5 s−1); (b) the corresponding time-longitude diagram along 40°W−20°E averaged on 2.5°N−12°5S. The date of the first day of strong rainfall over ENEB is marked as dot. The westward MCS trajectories (>2 hours) are plotted.
