Fig. 1: ENSO effects on winter precipitation.

From: Orographic amplification of El Niño teleconnections on winter precipitation across the Intermountain West of North America

Fig. 1

a, The top row shows the ENSO variable isolated from the first three climatology variables in equation (1). The ENSO effect is presented as anomalies in logarithm space, as in the model (equation (1)). b, The bottom row shows the ENSO effect as precipitation anomalies (mm) from neutral ENSO conditions (MEI = 0). Brown colours represent drier than typical, while green represents wetter than typical. Each panel corresponds to an MEI value, ranging from left to right, showing strong La Niña to strong El Niño, with the label colour scheme corresponding to Fig. 3.
