Abstract

 It is well known that heatwaves are influenced by both atmospheric and land-surface forcings. As the climate warms, both these forcings are likely to change. To clarify the role of each these forcings on the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) characteristics of heatwaves, we use an idealised to study the dry static energy (DSE) budget of heatwaves, and how the sources and sinks of DSE are affected when atmospheric opacity and Bowen ratio are separately changed. Furthermore, we will look at how the changing energetics impacts the IDF characteristics and return times of heatwaves. Since the heatwaves in this model are primarily driven by the circulation, this configuration also provides insight into the character oF atmospheric macroturbulence near the tail of the distribution.
