Extended Data Fig. 3: 2-metre temperature anomaly, tendency, and latent versus sensible heat flux partitioning.
From: 2021 North American heatwave amplified by climate change-driven nonlinear interactions
Two-day averages throughout 6/24–7/1, focusing on the heating phase of the event. The second-to-last row identifies points where the two-day average upward latent heat flux (LHF) was diminished and sensible heat flux (SHF) was enhanced (exhibiting negative and positive anomalies relative to 1981–2010, respectively, which tended to show strong persistence throughout the season). The last row further subselects points where the temperature tendency was also positive.
