The vertical transport differences in water vapor (\({-} < {\omega }{{\partial }}_{{p}}{q}{ > }^{{\boldsymbol{\text{'}}}}\), units: mm day−1) responses to ALL (a), SSTR (d) and ARC (g). The horizontal transport differences in water vapor (\(- < {{\bf{V}}}_{{h}}\,{\cdot }\,{{\nabla }}_{{h}}{q}{ > }^{{\boldsymbol{\text{'}}}}\), units: mm day−1) responses to ALL (b), SSTR (e) and ARC (h). The total transport differences in water vapor (\({-} < {\omega }{{\partial }}_{{p}}{q}{ > }^{{\boldsymbol{\text{'}}}}- < {{\bf{V}}}_{{h}}\,{\cdot }\,{{\nabla }}_{{h}}{q}{ > }^{{\boldsymbol{\text{'}}}}\), units: mm day−1) responses to ALL (c), SSTR (f) and ARC (i). Stippling indicates where the multimodel ensemble mean response is significant (90% confidence).
