Fig. 3: Analysis to understand the mean anomalous sea surface temperature tendency due to ocean process \({\dot{\overline{\Theta }}}_{{{{{{{{\rm{ocn}}}}}}}}}\).
From: Response of sea surface temperature to atmospheric rivers
a Decomposition of \({\dot{\overline{\Theta }}}_{{{{{{{{\rm{ocn}}}}}}}}}\) as a function of surface fluxes \({\dot{\overline{\Theta }}}_{{{{{{{{\rm{sfc}}}}}}}}}\). b the same as a but for anomalous entrainment speed \(\partial \left(h-\eta \right)/\partial t\). c the same as a but for the vertical temperature gradient at the bottom of the mixed layer (z = η − h). d the same as a but for the zonal (u10m, solid line) and meridional (v10m, dashed line) 10-m winds. Each curve connects the averages of the binned data. The bin interval is 2 × 10−8 K s−1.
