Short summary
The relative roles of dry and moist processes in blocking formation are still not well understood, especially across different blocking types and regions. Using a potential vorticity framework, we study the evolution of large-scale anticyclonic circulation anomalies that are linked to four distinct blocking patterns. We find that the development of anomaly amplitude is shaped mainly by their pathway, which determines the balance between dry and moist contributions, rather than the blocking type.
