WRF-ARW cloud-top temperature overlaid with 1000 meter horizontal wind vectors. Key features include: signature of dramatic anticyclonic outflow aloft on the western flank of Sandy and lower-tropospheric cyclonic cloud rotation and intermittent cold cloud top convective activity near inner core and outer cold air encirclement. Grayscale indicates temperature in degrees C. Discussed in Mel Shapiro's presentation at the AMS 2013 Townhall "A research-community perspective of the life cycle of Hurricane Sandy"
