From: An observational radiative constraint on hydrologic cycle intensification
Global-mean annual anomalies (abrupt4 × CO2—piControl; see Methods) in atmospheric energy budget terms (latent heat release from precipitation (LvP), net longwave cooling (LWC), shortwave absorption (SWA), and sensible heating (SH)) are regressed against those in 2-m air temperature (see Methods). For LvP, precipitation anomalies are multiplied by the latent heat of vaporization, Lv. Radiative terms are computed with all-sky fluxes. The statistics of the linear regression (slope (temperature-mediated response in W m−2 K−1), y-intercept (rapid adjustment in W m−2), and correlation coefficient, r) are displayed in the key.
