Figure 2

Relationship between IODE SST skewness and feedback asymmetry.

(a) Historical SON IODE SST skewness response to the slope difference for the precipitation response to SSTAs for 19 CMIP5 models. (b) As in (a) but for the RCP8.5 period. (c), (d) As in (a), (b) but for the SST response to thermocline depth (ZT) anomalies. The slope difference is defined as the pIOD linear regression coefficient minus the nIOD linear regression coefficient. These regression coefficients are calculated using analysis similar to that of Fig. 1. All plots were generated in NCL.
