A Lagrangian analysis of upper-tropospheric anticyclones associated with heat waves in Europe

<p>This study presents a Lagrangian analysis of upper-tropospheric anticyclones that are connected to surface heat waves in different European regions for the period 1979 to 2016. In order to elucidate the formation of these anticyclones and the role of diabatic processes, we trace air parcels...
