Fig. 5

a, b The standard deviations of (a) November–January (NDJ) and (b) January–March (JFM) interannual sea surface temperature anomalies (°C) over the tropical Pacific in the positive phase of the AMO during 1999–2018. c, d As in (a, b), but in the negative phase of the AMO during 1960–1998. e, f Differences of the standard deviations between the positive and negative AMO. Stippling indicates the differences that are statistically significant at the 90% confidence level using a F-test. The blue boxes denote the Niño-4W region (5°S–5°N, 160°E–175°W) in equatorial western-central Pacific.
