From: El Niño/Southern Oscillation inhibited by submesoscale ocean eddies
a, b, Spatial distribution of composite \(Q_{{\mathrm{eddy}},{\mathrm{v}}}^{{\mathrm{sub}}}\) in W m−2 at 50 m during the peak El Niño and La Niña events, respectively. c, d, Same as a, b, but for squared horizontal SST gradient magnitude in °C2 m−2.
