Composites of Heavy Rain Producing Elevated Thunderstorms in the Central United States

Figure 10

Composite cross-sections through the region as seen in Figure 9(a) at (a) 12 hours prior to the event; (b) 6 hours prior to the event; and (c) at the time of the event. Parameters shown are equivalent potential temperature (solid purple, K), scalar normal isotachs ≥ 60 kt (dashed cyan), scaled ageostrophic circulation vectors, and mixing ratio (color-filled, g kg−1).
