Short summary
We systematically investigate vertical temperature anomaly profiles during heat extremes on a global scale. Three distinct clusters emerge, aligning closely with the polar, mid-latitude, and tropical climate zones and capturing the key characteristics of the vertical profiles. While mid-latitude and polar profiles feature anomalies throughout the troposphere, with the highest temperature anomalies in the boundary layer, tropical temperature anomalies are confined to the boundary layer.
