Fig. 3: Decadal changes in central Pacific ENSO teleconnection.
From: Slow-down in summer warming over Greenland in the past decade linked to central Pacific El Niño
Regressed anomalies of detrended 250-hPa geopotential height onto EMI for (a) 1979–1999 and (b) 2000–2020. Dotted contours indicate the 95% significant level. Standard deviation difference between the periods 2000–2020 and 1979–1999 for (c) SST and (d) precipitation. Probability density functions for (e) SST and (f) precipitation anomalies averaged over the eastern tropical Pacific (black rectangle in c; 10°–15°N, 120°–160°W) for the periods 1979–1999 (dashed line) and 2000–2020 (solid line). (g) As in (f), but for meridional section of regressed precipitation anomalies onto EMI. Black contours in d and g indicate mean precipitation (contour interval in (d) is 5 mm day−1).
