Figure 6

Scatterplot of DJF warm pool-averaged tropopause stability (100 minus 200 hPa T) (°C) versus DJF-averaged MJO amplitude for QBO east years (blue) and QBO west years (red) for the sub-periods from 1959–1979 (unfilled circles) and 1994–2014 (filled circles). Dashed lines represent the slope of the regression line for both sub-periods. The correlation between MJO amplitude and tropopause stability is −0.38 from 1959–1979 and −0.58 from 1994–2014.
