Maritime-Continental Contrasts in the Properties of Low-Level Clouds: A Case Study of the Summer of the 2003 Yamase, Japan, Cloud Event
Figure 3
(a) Map of cloud top pressures [hPa] and (b) cloud top pressures normalized by the maximum value in the Sanriku region (black box in (a)) over the northern part of the main island of Japan, at approximately 0345 UTC July 22, 2003. The color shading indicates cloud top pressures according to the color bar in (b). The shading in (b) (grey, black, red, and blue) indicates maximum values over the entire swath, the Sanriku area, the land area, and the oceanic area in Sanriku, respectively. The values at the bottom of (b) show the averages and standard deviations (in brackets) for land (red) and ocean (blue) in the Sanriku area.
