Fig. 3: Spatiotemporal evolutions of propagating and standing heatwaves.
From: Evidence for preferred propagating terrestrial heatwave pathways due to Rossby wave activity
Composite surface temperature anomalies as a function of time and the spatial nodes on the detected propagation pathways. The horizontal axis denotes the six representative nodes on the detected propagation pathways (see Fig. 1). Time = 0 corresponds to the timing of the local temperature maximum during the heatwave at the starting node. The standing heatwaves affect only one to two path nodes near the starting node, but their residence time at the starting node is long.
