(a) Total SST anomaly from long term mean over 1901–2017, (b) anomaly by long-term linear trend, and (c) anomaly departing from the linear trend in August/September 2017. Green boxes denote the Main Development Region (MDR), while the blue boxes denote the eastern MDR (EMDR). (d) represents the area-averaged MDR SST in August/September over the period 1901–2017. Black and blue line denotes, respectively, the total SST anomaly (black) and long-term linear trend (blue). Bottom panel (e) is the same as the panel (d) but for the EMDR.
