Extended Data Fig. 2: The impact of the tropical SST anomalies and the Asian jet shift on the East Asian summer (JJA) precipitation.

From: Higher precipitation in East Asia and western United States expected with future Southern Ocean warming

Extended Data Fig. 2

a–c, Relationship between the Asian jet shift and the East Asian (EA) precipitation changes (a), the tropical Pacific triangular warming and the Asian jet shift (b), and the triangular warming and the EA precipitation changes (c). The Asian jet shift is measured by changes in meridional asymmetry of 200-hPa zonal wind, in which negative sign indicates southward shift (Methods). The precipitation anomaly is averaged over EA between 25°N-40°N and 110°E-145°E (green boxes in Fig. 2a,b). Circle symbols are CMIP6 slow responses, black is multi-model mean. Orange triangles indicate the CESM1-CAM4 SO warming experiment. The inter-model correlation coefficients are inserted as text. All variables are averaged for JJA.
