Fig. 2: Scatterplots showing the asymmetry of summer anomalous anticyclone (AAC).
From: Why East Asian monsoon anomalies are more robust in post El Niño than in post La Niña summers
a Observed AAC index (x-axis) versus preceding winter ENSO (y-axis). b Observed AAC index (x-axis) versus reconstructed AAC by preceding winter and concurrent summer ENSO states (y-axis). c, d Same as (a, b) but for all individual ensemble members in model simulations. All the indices are normalized. The red dots denote summers between consecutive La Niña, and the red star in (a, b) denotes the summer of 2022. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
