If II is close to 0, means it reaches the most necessary condition for instability.
Color: u shear in unit cm/s (u=u_surf – u_300) Contours: u_surf (positive region indicates the STCC)
The pink region indicates the large u shear occurs in May, June, July. In these months, the strength of u shear is mainly contributed by upper layer STCC. However, the NEC starts retreating in these months, and the EKE analysis also shows the more stable conditions. So, the strengthening of STCC does not contribute to the instability
