Fig. 3: Simulated month-to-month evolution of the heat sources associated with the springtime TPSC deficit.

From: Enduring local impact of springtime snow cover over the Third Pole

Fig. 3

The spatial distribution of the monthly difference between the two model scenarios ("snow-deficient” − “snow-rich'') from March to August for surface sensible heat flux (HFX; a) and surface latent heat flux (LH; b). The vertical profile of the regionally-averaged difference over the TP for apparent heat source (Q1; c) and apparent moisture sink (Q2; d). For each subplot in a, b, the number given is the weighted average for the TP region.
