Fig. 10

Contributions from different ENSO wind stress and buoyancy forcings, together with the superposition effects from non-ENSO variability on the regional SST variations of the a WAbox and b TSbox. The reservoir boxes represent the corresponding SST anomalies in the WAbox and TSbox. The arrows pointing towards (away from) the reservoir boxes together with plus (minus) signs indicate positive (negative) contributions of the forcings to the SST anomalies, with the numbers representing specific contribution values as listed in Table 1. Please note that the relative sizes of the boxes are approximate and not drawn to scale.
