Fig. 4: Sub-seasonal prediction of the mega-heatwave in the NCEP Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2).
From: An energetics tale of the 2022 mega-heatwave over central-eastern China
Time-pressure cross section of (a) air temperature (°C) and (b) total energy (kJ kg−1) anomalies averaged over central-eastern China in the NCEP CFSv2. Time series of area-averaged central-eastern China (c) land surface temperature (°C; red line), column-mean (from surface to 150 hPa) air temperature (°C; blue line), and (d) column integrated (from surface to 150 hPa) total energy (MJ m−2; black line) and its components of internal energy (coral), geopotential energy (orange), latent energy (blue), and kinetic energy (green) in the CFSv2. The developing and decaying phases of the heatwave are marked by vertical dashed lines in (a, b), and by pale yellow and light blue shadings in (c, d).
