Decomposition of the vertical mixing term. (a) Linear terms associated with the vertical diffusion coefficient anomaly (blue; the first term on the right hand side) and the temperature difference anomaly (purple; the second term on the right hand side), nonlinear term (red; the third term on the right hand side), and their sum (black; the left hand side term) in Eq. (3) integrated over the development phase for the pIOD (left) and the nIOD (middle) (in °C m2 s−1). Their sums are also presented (right). (b) As in (a), but normalized by EQUINOO. The circles (triangles) indicate anomalies significant at the 95% (90%) confidence level by a two-tailed t test.
