Fig. 4

a Observed 20–100 day filtered sea surface temperature (shading) and wind vector at 850 hPa (m s–1) anomalies regressed onto the central and eastern Pacific (160 N°–120°W, 5°S–5 N°) with a 65-day lag. The 20 yr (1997–2016) data was used. The dotted area represents significance at the 95% confidence level. b Same as a but for observed velocity potential (shading, 105 m2 s–1) and divergent winds (m s-1) anomalies. c Schematics for a role of central and eastern Pacific SST on precipitation over western Pacific. Only the values with over 95% confidence level are shown.
