Fig. 68.3 Simulated and observed upper-air profiles of the wind (a, b) and temperature (c) over
the coast and over site A
and temperature profiles was found over the coast, the simulation failed to identify
the inland evolution of the apparently short-lived dust event. Further exploration is
planned on this case.
