Extended Data Fig. 6: Mean states of EKE budget based on OFES2.
From: Intensification of Pacific tropical instability waves over the recent three decades
Similar to Fig. 3, but for the climatological mean. a, Mean EKE and the budget terms (shaded bars); Error bars denote uncertainties as the standard deviations between 1993–2021 mostly due to interannual variability; Data are represented as the mean ± uncertainties, with n numbers of 24, 28, 26, 24, and 25 from left to right. b–d, Meridional transects of mean EKE (colour shading) with zonal current (contours, cm s−1) (b), BTR (colour shading) with (1 − Uyy/β) (contours, dimensionless) (c) and BCR (colour shading) with temperature (contour, °C) (d), 160° W–100° W averaged. e, 9-yr running mean time series of EKE (red), BTR (solid magenta), BCR (dashed magenta) averaged between 160°W–100°W, 2°S–2°N, and 0–50 m depth, and SEC speed (black) averaged between 0°–4°N.
