| Figure 2 a-d Vorticity units: 10 -5 s -1 , e-h divergence units: 10 -5 s -1 , i-l vertical velocity units: cm s -1 at 500 hPa, and m-p whole-atmosphere precipitable water PW units: kg m -2 during the mature stage of the NCCV 0000 UTC 3 July to 1800 UTC 3 July 2013, where the dashed circles stand for the effective region of the cyclone. Panels q-t show quadrant-averaged divergence units: 10 -5 s -1 , vorticity units: 10 -5 s -1 , PW units: kg m -2 , and vertical velocity cm s -1 , respectively. Typical regions for divergence and ascending motions are marked with dotted areas. |
