(a) MODIS land surface temperature 15 July–15 August, 2011, and elevation contours at 800 m intervals. (b) July–August, 2011, N-S section on 37°E of the circulation (meridional vertical VW vectors, max = 5 m/s), zonal wind (shaded), relative humidity >70% (contours), and temperature >25°C (dashed) from NCEP2, with topographic profile. (c) Intercomparison of cross-correlations between model estimated daily rainfall and ARC2 observations 2000–2012, for a 1° grid-cell (dashed in a), in diminishing seasons.
