Fig. 3: A schematic diagram with the specific quantitative energy transport anomalies in the land-atmosphere column during the life cycle of the mega-heatwave over central-eastern China.
From: An energetics tale of the 2022 mega-heatwave over central-eastern China
The abbreviations “RAD”, “SW”, “LW”, “LH”, “SH”, “H_adv”, “V_adv”, and “Es_tend”, “E_tend” stand for processes of radiation, shortwave radiation, longwave radiation, surface latent heat flux, surface sensible heat flux, horizontal advection, vertical advection, and the total energy tendency of land surface and atmosphere, respectively. The specific quantitative energy transport associated with the individual dynamical and radiative processes is displayed by the directed numbers. The direction of the arrows represents positive energy transport.
