Abstract:It remains a major challenge to attribute heatwave’s lifecycle characteristics quantitatively to interwoven atmospheric and surface actions. By constructing a process-resolving, energetics-based attribution framework (PREAF), here we quantitatively delineate the lifecycle of the unprecedented 2022 mega-heatwave over central-eastern China from a local energetics perspective. It is found that the cloudlessness induced radiative heating and atmospheric dynamics dominate the total energy buildup during the develop… Show more
