Fig. 2: Consistency between Rossby wave packets (RWPs) movement trajectories and heatwave propagation pathways.
From: Evidence for preferred propagating terrestrial heatwave pathways due to Rossby wave activity
For each of the four pathways, k-means clustering synthesis of the movement trajectories of 500hPa high-pressure centers 10 days after heatwaves occur at the starting node. The movement and immobility of the high-pressure center along the red trajectories align with the propagating and standing patterns of heatwaves, respectively, with shaded areas representing the uncertainty range of each point on the trajectory in the longitude/latitude directions (Supplementary Note 2).
