(a) Map of vertical wind velocity (, hPa/h, and color shading) and horizontal wind vectors at 975 hPa at 0000 UTC July 22, 2003. The white contour lines on land show elevations (contour interval, 300 m); white triangles indicate the locations of mountains with equivalent heights greater than 975 hPa; latitude and longitude resolution, 0.5 degrees. The star shows the location of Misawa (141.38°E, 40.7°N). (b) Vertical profiles of temperature (K; thick lines) and relative humidity (%; thin lines) at Misawa at 0000 UTC July 22, 2003.
