Fig. 5: The superposition effects of non-ENSO forcings on ENSO-driven SST anomalies in the WAbox and TSbox regions.
From: Insights into contrasting ENSO influence on SST variations off Australia’s southeast and west coasts

a–d show the time series of monthly SST anomalies averaged within the WAbox derived from the MITgcm PACE-M13 and PACE-M14 group experiments. e–h are the same as (a–d), but for the TSbox region. The black lines in the subplots indicate SST anomalies from the experiments forced with corresponding atmospheric fluxes of the CESM Pacific pacemaker experiment ensemble member #13, while the red lines indicate SST anomalies from the experiments forced by atmospheric fluxes from ensemble member #14. “Corr” in the subplots indicate correlation coefficients between time series represented by black and red lines, with (*) indicating those statistically not significant at 95% level.
