a–k The reconstructed PDO index. l The simulated PDO index by full-forcing ensemble member 001 of CESM-LME. m Same as l, but for the ensemble mean of 5 volcanic sensitivity experiments. n, Same as l, but for the ensemble mean of 11 full-forcing experiments. o Reconstructed global average volcanic aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 550 nm73. p Global total stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection74.
