Trends of vertical winds in summer monsoon months: Trends of vertical wind averaged over the latitude band between 10° S and equator, in (a) June, (b) July and (c) August during 2000–2017, by excluding El Niño and La Niña years. In order to maintain uniformity, El Niño and La Niña years are considered based on the ONI values corresponding to August. Black dots show the regions where trends are not significant at 95% confidence level. Positive values indicate strengthening (weakening) of downward (upward) wind and negative values indicate vice versa.
