Wind and geopotential height fields at (a, b) 250 hPa, (c, d) 500 hPa, and (e, f) 700 hPa. (a), (c), and (e) are averaged from 18 UTC of June 10 to 18 UTC of June 11, 2008. (b), (d), and (f) are averaged from 18 UTC of June 11 to 18 UTC of June 13, 2008. The shaded areas indicate the divergence (10−5 s−1) in (a) and (b), the vertical velocity (Pa/s) in (c) and (d), and the horizontal wind speed (≥12 m/s) in (e) and (f).
