Fig. 6. Comparison of aircraft latent heat profiles acquired over the El Reno transect (SGP97) on 2 July 1997 with model predictions from DisALEXI. Uncorrected and closure-corrected aircraft fluxes as a function of position (Easting UTM, Zone 14) along transect, with DisALEXI estimates integrated (a) across the aircraft source area footprint and (b) across a swath directly beneath the aircraft. Middle panel shows DisALEXI map of latent heating with aircraft transect (upper dotted line) and maxima of footprint function (lower dotted line) indicated. White lines represent axis of footprint function (in the upwind direction).
