Figure 5

SON difference in HadGEM3A 30-year average simulation forced by a +2 °C western tropical Pacific SST heating anomaly minus HadGEM3A 30-year average climatology run. (a) 500 hPa geopotential height and 500 hPa wind, (b) 500 hPa meridional temperature advection \(-v\frac{\partial T}{\partial y}\) and wind, and (c) 2 m temperature and 10 m wind. Shading indicates where differences are statistically significant and is drawn as in Figs 2 and 4. Wind vectors, in ms−1, are shown only if at least one component is significant at p < 0.10. Contour interval for (a) 5 m, (b) 0.1 °C day−1, and (c) 0.3 °C.
