New England 2025 Warm Season Banter

Odd question but I've been doing a lot of reading around o this but I can't seem to garner the appropriate solution. 

In a nutshell, I am writing a paper about a severe weather event and in this event there was a multi-region outbreak (from two separate systems). I've crafted several drafts of the paper because I'm trying to find the best method of doing the layout. This paper is an analysis (case study) so it will have 300mb charts, 500mb, 700, 850, etc. 

Anyways, I feel the best course of measure is to break the paper into two main sections, with one focusing on each region. Anyways with that, I would be referencing alot of the same maps twice. For example, 

Let's say that is labeled Figure 5 in my paper

Where I am stuck is this:

1. When talking about this for the first region its labeled as Figure 5

2. When I reference this chart again in the second section, is in best to label it as another figure number, or is it fine to reference back to figure 5.

I am going nuts on this.

Note: All images will be at the end of the paper.

If it’s the same image then yeah, I’d just refer back to the same one.

Perfect, thank you! That's what I was thinking. 

Not sure why I've been beating myself up about this but I've let it stress me out so much that sometimes I'd come close to getting a panic attack and would get light headed

Case studies can tend to have a lot of images to refer to anyway. It doesn’t make sense to me to add the same image twice as different figures.

I assume your choice for this study is the point of having two outbreaks at the same time. So it only makes sense to tie each in with the same maps. Otherwise it would feel like 2 different case studies in 1 paper.

Yeah, one outbreak occurred from northeast CO into SW NE and a second from IA southwest into OH (but each were spawned from a separate system). Each person was assigned a different event so I don't know if everyone got a multi-region event or hell, if I even need to focus on both areas but I'm going to anyways. 

I had initially did my layouts talking about each level and then both regions...but I felt it was leading to a cumbersome mess. So I elected to try going about it doing the analysis separate for each area and it seems to be going much more fluidly.
