Figure 2

Responses of climate to the forcing of land surface heating and/or equatorial central-eastern Pacific cooling.

For (a) AMJJA mean surface air temperature (°C) and (b) JJA mean precipitation (mm/day) anomalies from the Eurasian land surface thermal forcing in the CCSM3 model (CCSM3_EA minus CCSM3_C); (c,d) same as in (a,b) but for the North American land surface thermal forcing; (e,f) same as in (a,b) but in the CAM3 model with prescribed climatological mean SST; (g,h) same as in (a,b) but for the collaborative forcing of both Eurasian land surface heating and equatorial central-eastern Pacific cooling; and (i,j) same as in (a,b) but for the equatorial central-eastern Pacific forcing alone (CCSM3_C minus CCSM3_P). Black dots are at the 90% confidence level.
