Abstract

This study introduces a novel approach to analyzing heat waves as three-dimensional (3D) phenomena using ERA5 reanalysis data from three European regions (1979–2022). Four heat wave types are identified based on vertical temperature anomaly profiles: near-surface, lower-tropospheric, higher-tropospheric, and omnipresent. These types differ in duration, seasonal occurrence, and soil moisture preconditioning, highlighting diverse driving mechanisms.
