m down multiple humidity jumps, even at 1400 m
nice echo plumes F2.1 2220-2225 600 m up 2
dryline plumes emerge from a series of
q-discontinuities F2.2 2242-2248 200
m up single dryline, tilting to the W as if
propagating like a density current F3.1
2324-2330 1400 m down 2 drylines, the E one
is best defined - we can try dual-Doppler F3.2
2333-2339 800 m down 2 drylines, retreating
W and diverging from each other F4
