Figure 2.1 An example of convective stage determination. The thick line shows C 208 (the fraction of pixels in a box with brightness temperatures below 208 K) measured at 180ºE, 10ºS Feb. 10, 2003. Convection is determined as “occurring” if C 208 is over 10 % (horizontal dashed line). C 204 , C 206 , C 210 , and C 212 are shown as dotted, dashed, dot-dashed, and thin line. Determined convective stages are shown at the bottom. 26
