Vertical cross section of the simulated potential temperature (color contours), liquid water mixing-ratio (black contour lines, maximum value 0.18 g kg−1), and wind field (arrows) along the green lines (a) A1-A2 and (b) B1-B2 indicated in Figure 6(a) at 20:00 UTC on 25 August 2012. The maximum horizontal wind speed is 19.6 m s−1, and the maximum vertical wind vector is 25.6 cm s−1.
