Cross sections of increments of radar echoes (a) (unit: dBZ), specific humidity (b) (unit: g/kg), and cloud hydrometeors ((c) cloud water, (d) cloud ice, (e) snow, and (f) rainwater, unit: g/kg) along line MN in Figure 3(a) at 0000 UTC 4 July 2014. The horizontal axis is the distance from line EF (Figure 3(a)) (unit: 10 km). The vertical axis is pressure (unit: hPa).
