Fig. 5: Quantitatively detecting the origins of the mega-heatwave prediction biases in the NCEP Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2).
From: An energetics tale of the 2022 mega-heatwave over central-eastern China
The energy perturbations (W m−2) of (a) land surface and (c) atmosphere attributed to the dynamical and radiative processes during the developing (orange) and decaying (light blue) phases of the mega-heatwave in observation (solid) and the CFSv2 (hollow with slashes). The radiative energy perturbations (W m−2) of (b) land surface and (d) atmosphere decomposed into individual radiative processes. The abbreviations “E_tend”, “Es_tend”, “RAD”, “LH”, “SH”, “H_adv”, “V_adv”, “SR”, “O3”, “AL”, “T”, “WV”, “CLD”, “AER”, and “RES” in the abscissa stand for the total energy tendency of land surface and atmosphere, processes of the changes in radiation, surface latent heat flux, surface sensible heat flux, horizontal advection, vertical advection, solar insolation, ozone, surface albedo, temperature, water vapor, cloud, aerosols, and residual, respectively.
