Figure 2

Inter-airway temperature (Ta), absolute humidity (AH) and ASL water equivalent height (He,ASL) distribution from end of inhalation to maximal change during exhalation. Arrows indicate direction of change. Non-dimensional airway position (X/L), defines the ratio of distance from anterior nasal valve to the posterior choanae within the two airways. = commencement of exhalation, = intermediate value, = maximal increase during exhalation. ∆ = Keck et al.
