Fig. 3: Weakened MJO eastward propagation by ITF closure.
From: Indonesian Throughflow promoted eastward propagation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation
A Mean SST (shading) and vertical-integrated specific humidity (contour; contour interval is 1.0 with zero-isolines omitted) between NESM_CITF and NESM_OITF. B Height-longitude plot of MJO-associated specific humidity; thick blue and yellow contours represent the results in NESM_OITF and NESM_CITF, respectively (starting from 0.0, contour interval is 0.1 (0.5) for value below (above) 0.5 with negative values omitted), shadings represent the difference between NESM_CITF and NESM_OITF. Stippled points in (A) represent significant test of SST difference at 95% confidence level, while in (B) represent the significant test of specific humidity in NESM_OITF at 95% confidence level.
