24 hr ensemble back trajectories ending at 11°N, 37°E at 22:00 LST 29 July, 2011: (a) for 3000 m above ground with SST, (b) MODIS vegetation fraction during the period, (c) trajectories ending 1000 m above ground, and (d) GFS meteogram of winds, PBL height, CAPE, and rainfall at 3-hr intervals at 11°N, 37°E. Map scales vary; GFS relative humidity along (vertical section) path is given in (a, c).
