Fig. 4: Variability of the winter Atlantic Niño and precipitation responses to it with respect to the mean state changes between Historical and SSP585 simulations.
From: Significant winter Atlantic Niño effect on ENSO and its future projection
a The box-whisker plot shows the standard deviation of the winter Atlantic Niño (left, °C) and the precipitation response (0–45°W and 0–5°S, mm/day) to the winter Atlantic Niño (right) for Historical (blue) and SSP585 (red) simulations. In the box plot, the bottom, middle, and top edges represent the 25th percentile (First Quartile, Q1), the 50th percentile (Second Quartile, Q2, or median), and the 75th percentile (Third Quartile, Q3) of the data, respectively. The Interquartile Range (IQR) is calculated as Q3 minus Q1. The whiskers extend to the smallest and largest values within 1.5 times the IQR from Q1 and Q3, respectively. Data points outside the whiskers are considered outliers. The mean and outliers are marked by an “x” and dots, respectively. b Differences in climatological mean precipitation (shading) in the DJF season between SSP585 and Historical simulations. c Differences in standard deviation of precipitation (shading) in the DJF season between SSP585 and Historical simulations.
