Fig. 4: Representative map depicting the remote effects of El Niño event on surface temperature and precipitation and their projected changes from CESM-LENS.
From: Projections of faster onset and slower decay of El Niño in the 21st century

a Surface temperature [blue-red, °C] and c precipitation [brown-green, mm day−1] composite during September-October-November (SON, or developing year-0) for late 20th Century El Niño events (see Methods for Definition of El Niño). Projected changes in b temperature and d precipitation composite (21 C minus 20 C) during SON (or developing year-0). Stipples indicate anomalies that are significant at the 95% level based on a bootstrapping technique (see Methods).
