Tropical Cyclone Oswald Jan 2013

Wind vectors and contours of the zonal wind component at selected pressure levels

The following plots show wind vectors and contours of the zonal velocity component during the genesis and mature stage of the disturbance. Contour levels for the zonal wind are 5 m s-1 up to 500 mb and 10 m s-1 at 200 mb. Regions of westerly zonal wind speed > 5 m s-1 are shaded pink; regions of easterly zonal wind speed < -5 m s-1 shaded light blue. Negative contours blue/dashed.
