a, c, e For JJA; b, d, f for DJF. a, b Changes in spatial thermodynamics, depicting the orientation of the climatological winds over the change of moisture gradient. c, d Changes in mean circulation, depicting jet weakening and the accompanied anomalous anticyclonic circulation to its north, anomalous cyclonic circulation to its south. e, f Changes in eddy transport, depicting responses of the hydrological and dynamical eddy amplitudes to warming, and moisture discharge during precipitation events using the size of the mock cloud representing the dynamical amplitude and the color intensity representing specific humidity.
