Fig. 4

Background (JJAS mean) vertically integrated moisture (shading, kg/m2) of AAPM (a) BAPM (b) and the difference between the two (c). The stippling in (c) shows the values significant at 95% using a two-tailed Student’s t test. Meridional structure of the vertically integrated moisture in AAPM (d) BAPM (e) and the difference between the two (f) averaged over the longitudes 80°E − 95°E; the Y-axis represents the latitude. The zonal structure of the vertically integrated moisture for AAPM (h) BAPM (i) and the difference between the two (j) averaged over the latitudes 10°N − 20°N; the X-axis represents the longitude. g and k represent the day 0 vertical structure of ISO-filtered specific humidity anomalies (kg/kg) and JJAS mean meridional winds for AAPM and BAPM, respectively.
