Fig. 4: Changes in ocean column temperatures due to pre-genesis tropical cyclones (TCs).
From: Crucial role of subsurface ocean variability in tropical cyclone genesis

a Composite profiles of ocean temperature changes. The black points denote the mean ocean temperature changes. The blue error bars denote the corresponding standard error of the mean (SEM). Horizontal dotted line denotes the composite mean depth of the 26 °C isotherm (D26). b Same as Fig. 2a but for the temperature anomalies at the mixed layer depth. c Same as Fig. 2a but for the sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies.
