(a, b) Geopotential height (blue contours, unit: 10−1 m) and temperature (red contours, unit: °C) at 500 hPa; ((c), (d)) sea level pressure (shaded, unit: hPa); ((e), (f)) the in situ observed air temperature (coloured dots, unit: °C) at ((a), (c), (e)) 1200 UTC 20 Oct 2010 (before the severe wind) and ((b), (d), (f)) 0000 UTC 21 Oct 2010 (during the severe wind). The black dots in ((a), (b)) denote the locations of wind towers near the Alataw valley. The black boxes in ((c), (d)) show the Alataw valley and its vicinity areas.
