Extended Data Fig. 1: Signature of western boundary currents in remotely sensed SST and precipitation.
From: Signature of the western boundary currents in local climate variability
(a, d, g, j) The standard deviations of monthly grid point SST anomalies; (b, e, h, k) grid point vertical motion anomalies at 850 hPa regressed onto grid point SST anomalies; and (c, f, i, l) grid point precipitation anomalies regressed onto grid point SST anomalies. The rows correspond to the four western boundary currents of interest. The SST anomalies are based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 1/4° Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) dataset, the vertical motion field is based on ERA5, and the precipitation field is based on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM). Each dataset is based on monthly mean output.
