Figure 2

Longitude-time diagram of the climatological (a,e), 2013 (b,f) and anomalous (c,g) zonal surface wind (upper panel, m s−1) and current (bottom panel, m s−1) averaged over 2°S-2°N band. Time evolution of the longitudinal averaged zonal surface wind (d) and current (h). The black lines indicate the climatology and the red lines are for year 2013 (f). The criterion of 0.3 m s−1 is adopted in (h) to indicate the jets occur. The semiannual eastward WJs are marked by gray bars for climatology and by light-blue bars for 2013. Maps are generated using MATLAB R2011a.
