CP El Niño and PDO Variability Affect Summer Precipitation over East China

Figure 8

Monthly averaged ((a) and (b)) SST anomalies over the central-eastern equatorial Pacific (5°S–5°N, 180°–90°W), ((c) and (d)) 850 hPa zonal wind anomalies over the equatorial Pacific (10°S–10°N, 140°E–120°W), and ((e) and (f)) SST anomalies over the north Indian Ocean in the cool PDO phase. (a) Developing period, central-eastern Pacific SST. (b) Decaying period, central-eastern Pacific SST. (c) Developing period, zonal wind. (d) Decaying period, zonal wind. (e) Developing period, north Indian Ocean SST. (f) Decaying period, north Indian Ocean SST.
