Fig. 4: Climate anomalies with a ~2 °C tropical Atlantic SST warming.
From: Initiation of a stable convective hydroclimatic regime in Central America circa 9000 years BP
Idealized simulation with the Max Plank Institution for Meteorology Earth System Model. Shadings are anomalies in sea-surface temperature (a), precipitation (b), sea-level pressure (c), and evaporation (d) between peak warm Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and peak cold AMO anomalies from six idealized 70-year sinusoidal AMO cycles; line contours identify the associated climatologies (see ref. 45 for details). Arrows in panel c represent warm-cold differences in 10 m winds. Peak warm and peak cold values are determined as 11-year averages around the warmest and coldest year in each AMO cycle, respectively.
