How do crosswinds affect runway selection at New Chitose Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At New Chitose Airport (CTS/RJCC) the live call is landing and departure 19R+19L with METAR wind 200° @ 3 kt. 19R shows 2.7 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 1.4 kt crosswind from the right. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every RJCC threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
