Fig. 2: Teleconnections for the decadal sea surface temperature (SST) variability off western Australian coast in December–January–February (DJF).
From: Emergence of decadal linkage between Western Australian coast and Western–central tropical Pacific
Regression of the DJF sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) onto the DJF decadal Ningaloo Niño index (NNI; shading; unit: K; vectors for wind anomaly; unit: m/s) in a 1950–1985 and b 1985–2020. The blue/red box represents the region off western Australian coast and the Niño4w region, respectively. Stippled areas are where the regression results are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. c, d as in a and b but for the 200-hPa velocity potential anomaly (shading; unit: \({10}^{6}\) m/s; vectors for divergent wind; unit: m/s;). Ningaloo Niño generally peaks in boreal winter; thus, only the changes in boreal winter are presented.
