The sensitivity of atmospheric blocking to upstream latent heating – numerical experiments

<p>Recent studies have pointed to an important role of latent heating during cloud formation for the dynamics of anticyclonic circulation anomalies such as atmospheric blocking. However, the effect of latent heating on blocking formation and maintenance has not yet been fully elucidated. To ex...
