a ERA5 temperature change (°C h−1, shaded) from the vertical term over the AP at 925 hPa at 15 UTC on 6 February, 2020. Surface geopotential heights are drawn by contour lines with 200 m intervals. Esperanza station is marked with a green circle. b ERA5 vertical cross section of wind speed (m s−1, shaded) and potential temperature (K, contour lines) between 50°W and 65°W around the station at 15 UTC on 6 February, 2020. The white area marks the mountain according to the surface geopotential height from ERA5.
