Vertical cuts through the rMHD snapshot intersecting the EB location at x = 11.3 Mm, y = 10.7 Mm. Left column: cut along the y-axis, and right column: cut along the x-axis. We display the temperature, density (on a logarithmic scale), and the vertical velocity together with h_{max, 10 830} (solid line) and h_max, D3 (dash-dotted line) as defined in Eq. (2). The red and black boxes in the right panels indicate the region that we zoom into in Figs. 10, 11, and 13.
