Persistence of heat waves and its link to soil moisture memory
Open accessAbstract
In this study, we assess the role of soil moisture for heat wave persistence using simulations with a regional climate model. Several studies have investigated changes in the frequency of hot summer days but very few investigated changes in their persistence. We use two different heat wave thresholds, either defined by the 90th percentile of the control run or by the 90th percentile of the respective sensitivity experiment. We identify that simulations in which soil moisture is fixed to a constant value or prescribed seasonal cycle, even with prescribed constant dry conditions, present a lower intrinsic heat wave persistence than simulations with interactive soil moisture. This effect is related to the impact of soil moisture persistence in the interactive simulations and amounts to ca. 5–10% of the spell lengths of the 10% hottest days in the respective simulations. Our results highlight the key role of soil moisture memory for the persistence of heat wave events, beside the known effect of soil moisture on heat wave intensity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
