Time series of upper-air data from Ships


Data from Kexue 1 (6.3N, 110E)


Fiure 1. Time series of relative humidity (percent) in top panel and zonal wind (m/s) in bottom panel for the SCSMEX IOP1 (06 May - 26 May 1998) created from high resolution sounding data at Kexue 1. Positive values (warmer shades) depict periods and regions of low humidity and easterly winds while negative values (cooler shades) depict periods and regions of high humidity and westerly winds. Data have been smoothed with a 5-day running mean filter.



Fiure 2. Time series of meridional wind (m/s) for the SCSMEX IOP1 (05 May - 22 May 1998) created from high resolution sounding data at Kexue 1. Positive values (warmer shades) depict periods and regions of southerly winds while negative values (cooler shades) depict periods and regions of northerly winds. Data have been smoothed with a 5-day running mean filter.




Data from Shiyan 3 (20.4N, 116.9E)


Fiure 3. Time series of relative humidity (percent) in top panel and zonal wind (m/s) in bottom panel for the SCSMEX IOP1 (06 May - 26 May 1998) created from high resolution sounding data at Shiyan 3.
