a, c, e, g Intermodel relationship among the central-eastern Pacific (CEP) sea surface temperature (SST), central-western Pacific (CWP) precipitation, cloud shortwave-SST (SW-SST) feedback, western Pacific (WP) SST change, and the first principal component (PC1). b, d, f, h Intermodel relationship among SST beneath the marine stratocumulus (SC), shortwave cloud (SWCL) feedback, global mean surface air temperature (GMST) change, land–sea thermal contrast (LSTC) change, and the second principal component (PC2). The indices above are defined in “Methods”. Solid fitting line is obtained by the least square method. Dashed curves denote the 95% confidence range of the linear regression. Value on the top-right corner of each subplot is correlation coefficient. All the correlation coefficients are statistically significant at the 5% level under Student t-test.
