Composition and Thermal Structure of the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere in a Penetrating Mesoscale Convective Complex Determined by Satellite Observations and Model Simulations

<div>(a) Black-body temperature (green, blue, red, and black contours denote −20, −32, −50, and −65°C, resp.) from the FY2C satellite on 7 June 2009; + symbols indicate locations inside and outside the MCC at 15 km from the GPS radio occultation temperature profiles. (b) GPS radio occultation temperature profiles on 7 June 2009 inside (red curves) and outside (blue in southeast and black in northwest) the MCC.</div>
