Extended Data Fig. 3: Temporal evolution of single-year and multi-year La Niña events in models.

Time–longitude evolutions of equatorial (5° N–5° S average) SST (°C; colouring), SSH (m; contours; positive in green and negative in white, with an interval of 0.01 m) and surface zonal wind stress (N m−2; vectors) anomalies, composited for single-year La Niña events in 1900–1999 (a), multi-year La Niña events in 1900–1999 (b) and in 2000–2099 (c), respectively, in the selected models. Models simulate reasonably well the observed multi-year La Niña evolution.
