Numerical Simulation of Sea Breeze Convergence over Antarctic Peninsula

Figure 10

Vertical variation of wind vector and potential temperature for different longitudes. Latitude and height are shown in - and -axes. (a, b) represent a cross section at longitude 59.1 W, while (c, d) are at 58.45 W. Time of the panels is as follows: (a) 15 December 2013 at 19:00 UTC; (b) 15 December 2013 at 22:00 UTC; (c) 24 December 2013 at 20:00 UTC; and (d) 24 December 2013 at 23:00 UTC. The white area in the bottom corresponds to the topography at the respective longitude, while the width of the peninsula (AP) is marked with a red thick line.
