Fig. 3: Seasonal evolution of atmospheric circulation and ocean potential temperature anomalies between the NATM and the NACLM experiments.

Composite differences in vertical cross-section of zonal circulation (vectors, m s−1; vertical speed is scaled by 100) and vertical velocity (shading, 0.01 Pa s−1) averaged along 5°S–5°N between the NATM and the NACLM experiments in a MAM, b JJA, and c SOND. d–f Similar to (a–c) but for the vertical cross-section of ocean potential temperature (shading, °C) averaged along 5°S–5°N. The green and black solid lines represent the thermocline depth in the NATM and the NACLM experiments, respectively. The shading and black vectors in (a–c) and stippled areas in (d–f) denote the significant values exceeding the 95% confidence level.
