Tezopaco mean wind profiles

Tezopaco was a inland observation site (about 100 km east of Guaymas) during the 1993 EMVER experiment. It was chosen because it lies in relatively low(430 m asl) flattish terrain, along the presumed inflow to the region of maximum convection observed in satellite composites in NW Mexico. Tethered balloon soundings, a few radiosonde launches, and many pibals were made over an approximately 2 month period.

The mean U profiles show the diurnal variation of flow towards the mountains… A deep afternoon inflow is present…
