(a) Composite anomalies of the <Q1> (W m−2) between the positive and negative phases of the SAH index. (b) Composite anomalies of the <Q1> (W m−2) between the negative and positive phases of the SRP index. (c) Composite anomalies of vertical profile of the <Q1> averaged over the East Europe between the positive and negative phases of the SAH index. (d) Composite anomalies of vertical profile of the <Q1> averaged over the Indian subcontinent between the positive and negative phases of the SAH index. The definition of <Q1> was provided in the text. Anomalies that are significantly different from zero at the 95% confidence level in (a,b) are marked with black dots. The two black boxes over East Europe (42.5°−60°N, 30°–55°E) and Indian subcontinent (15°–30°N, 67.5°–90°E) in (a,b) were employed to construct the region-averaged <Q1> index in Fig. 3. This Figure is created by the NCL58 v6.4.0 (http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/).
