Fig 8. Lowest level o-level winds (kt) from the 3-km MM5 runs (the higher resolution winds) compared with the 30 hPa above ground level winds from the 32-km Eta model (lower resolution wind in bold barbs) valid at 1500 UTC 3 February 1998. Eta model data displayed is at 80-km resolution. Winds as in Fig. 5 with winds > 40 kt are shaded. Three surface observations valid at 1500 UTC (locations marked with filled triangles) are plotted for comparison.
