Characteristics and mechanisms of the severe compound cold-wet event in southern China during February 2022
Abstract A severe compound cold-wet event occurred in southern China (hereafter referred to as CWESC ) in February 2022, leading to enormous socioeconomic losses. In this study, we proposed a new index to denote the severity of the compound cold-wet event. Based on the multivariate survival method,...

In this study, we proposed a new index to denote the severity of the compound cold-wet event. Based on the multivariate survival method, the CWESC in February 2022 is identified as the severest event during the past six decades. Our results indicate that the CWESC in 2022 is jointly regulated by the La Niña-like SST condition in the tropical Pacific and the warm SST anomalies in the North Atlantic, and a teleconnection in the Northern Hemisphere during winter (hereafter referred to as TNHW) plays the key role. The TNHW pattern originates from the tropical Pacific, and it splits into two routes over the North Atlantic. The northern branch of TNHW propagates via the Arctic and Siberia, causing intensified near-surface northerly wind and partially inducing an anomalous anticyclone over the western North Pacific (WNP). The southern branch of TNHW propagates via the Mediterranean and western Asia, inducing a deepened India–Burma trough and partially inducing the anomalous anticyclone over WNP. The intensified near-surface northerly wind causes enhanced cold advection over southern China, while the deepened India–Burma trough and the anomalous anticyclone over WNP cause increased southerly warm and moist air flow towards southern China, resulting in the CWESC in 2022. Moreover, four groups of numerical experiments forced by tropical Pacific, North Pacific, and North Atlantic SST anomalies are conducted based on the Community Atmosphere Model version 5. The results confirm the important roles of the La Niña-like condition and the warm SST anomalies in the North Atlantic in causing the CWESC in 2022.
