Fig. 5

Latitude–height cross-sections (80°–100°E average) of anomalies of air temperature (°C) from experiments (a) SNOW and (b) SNOW_WGS, respectively. Simulated anomalies of geopotential height (color shading; gpm) and horizontal wind (vectors; m s−1) at 500 hPa from experiments c SNOW and d SNOW_WGS, respectively. In the panel, alphabet “A” and “C” represent anomalous anticyclones and cyclones, respectively. e, f Same as c, d but for water vapor flux divergence (color shading; 10–9 g s−1 cm−2 hPa−1) and horizontal wind (vectors; m s−1) at 850hPa. Slash shading, and green vectors represent anomalies values significant at the p < 0.1 confidence level based on Student’s t test.
