Vertical velocity at selected pressure levels
The following plots show contours of vertical velocity during the genesis and mature stage of the disturbances. Contour levels are: thick contours 1 m s-1; Negative contours blue/dashed. The location of the minimum geopotential (denoted by the cyclone symbol) is displayed at 850 mb (black) and at 500 mb (green).
