Fig. 6: Comparison between ENSO and Atlantic Niño.

Annual mean climatology of (a) SST (°C) and (b) depth of 20°C isotherm (z20, m). Purple boxes denote the centers of the CP ENSO and CAN, and red boxes denote the centers of the EP ENSO and EAN. c Annual mean climatology of SST (°C, orange line) and z20 (m, purple line) averaged between 3°S and 3°N. Purple shadings (red shadings) denote the centers of CP ENSO (EP ENSO) and CAN (EAN). d Composites of DJF SSTA (°C) averaged between 3°S and 3°N during the CP ENSO (purple line) and EP ENSO (red line) years. e Same as d, but for JJ-mean composites during the CAN and EAN years.
