Extended Data Fig. 2: Spatial evolution of single-year and multi-year La Niña events in observation.
From: Increased occurrences of consecutive La Niña events under global warming
a–e, Composite maps of anomalous SST (°C; colouring) and surface wind stress (N m−2; vectors) for single-year La Niña events during D(0)JF(1) (a), MAM(1) (b), D(1)JF(2) (c), MAM(2) (d) and D(2)JF(3) (e). f–j, Same as a–e but for multi-year La Niña events. SST and surface wind data are from HadISST54 and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis57, respectively, in 1948–2021. The first La Niña of a multi-year La Niña event features a northward-broadened anomaly pattern.
