Main Characteristics of Mexico City Local Wind Events during the MILAGRO 2006 Campaign within a Meso-β Scale Lattice Wind Modeling Approach

Figure 6

(a) Hourly distribution of the occurrence frequency of the Mexico City discrete wind states during March 2006 with respect to wind divergence. Top: convergent states. Bottom: divergent states. These results are consistent with upslope wind during day (divergent) and downslope wind at night (convergent). (b) Hourly distribution of the occurrence frequency of the Mexico City discrete wind states during March 2006 with respect to wind vorticity. Top: anticyclonic (negative) vorticity states. Bottom: cyclonic (positive) vorticity states.
