| Below is a recap of the timeseries of the (1) tropopause theta enkf analysis timeseries, (2) the tropopause theta field at 11/19 6 UTC (weakest point) and (3) 11/21 12 UTC (strongest point), (4) Timeseries of EnKF and GFS analyses for tropopause theta and (5) pressure:

| Cross sections of relative humidity (colors), vertical motion (red = rising, blue = descending), and potential vorticity (black solid lines, contours = 0.5, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5). The one with the 'ew' in the name of the image is the east-west cross section and the one with the 'ns' in the name of the image is the north-south cross section:

Relative humidity, vertical motion (rising motion in red, descending blue), pv (contours at 0.5, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5) |
| Precipitation (reflectivity as in Ryan's Matlab script). Note the colorbar is NOT fixed:
