Fig. 4. Vertical cross-section for 1200 UTC 13 March 1993.  Map location of cross-section is shown in upper right inset.  Solid lines denote geostrophic momentum (Mg, contour interval 10 ms-1), while dashed lines represent equivalent potential temperature ( thetae, contour interval 5 K).  Dotted line encloses area of CSI; thick dashed line encloses conditional instability region.
