Fig. 2: Large scale conditions associated with the storms. Top panels (a,d,g): Anatol ; middle panels (b,e,h): Lothar; bottom panels (c,f,i): Martin. The left column shows the 500 mbar geopotential height (solid lines, contour interval 8 gpdm) and temperature fields (broken lines, contour interval 5 K), the middle column Θe at 850 mbar, and the right column the 3-day averaged upper level (300-500 mbar) maximum Eady growth rate (in 1/day). Dates and associated cyclone locations (arrows) are indicated along with the cyclone track from 6-hourly positions. Grid points where local
values exceed the 95 (99) percentile are shaded.
