Three-month running mean of the a equatorial Pacific Ocean zonal surface wind stress anomaly (130°E–120°W, 5°S–5°N) (102 Nm−2) and b Niño3.4 region relative SST anomalies (5°N–5°S, 170°W–120°W) for three sensitivity tests using CESM-WACCM4. Gray shading indicates ±1 standard deviation from the model climatological mean. c–f Surface temperature (°C, color fill) and 850 hPa wind (m/s, arrows) anomalies during September–October–November of the first year for all sensitivity tests. See Table 2 for description of the experiments.
