Short summary
The transient moist static energy (MSE) flux dominates the poleward atmospheric heat transport in the Southern Hemisphere. In this study, we investigate how this transient MSE flux evolves over the life cycle of extratropical cyclones. By attributing transient MSE fluxes to nearby cyclones, we assess the contribution of individual cyclones to zonally integrated atmospheric heat transport and discuss the relationship between cyclone numbers and atmospheric heat transport on a seasonal scale.
