Fig. 4: Observed 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

The vertical profile of the regionally-averaged difference over the TP between the “snow-deficient” years and the “snow-rich” years from March to August for apparent heat source (Q1; a) and apparent moisture sink (Q2; b).
