Fig. 3: Simulated differences of vertical velocity, water vapor transport and westerly circulation in summer between 1761–1775 A.D. and 1746–1760 A.D. based on full-forcing ensemble member 001 of CESM-LME.

a Vertical velocity (shading, unit: hPa s-1) and wind at 500 hPa (arrow, unit: m s-1), both are significant at 95% confidence level. b Water vapour flux (arrow, unit: kg m-1 s-1) and its divergence, both are significant at 95% confidence level. c Latitude-pressure profile of the zonal wind averaged over 100°E–125°E (shading, unit: m s-1). The contours represent the climatological zonal mean circulation (unit: m s-1) during 1746–1760 A.D. Black arrow represents the composite field of meridional wind (unit: m s-1) and vertical velocity (unit: 0.01 Pa s-1).
