Abstract
Figure 2: A) Changes in December-March precipitation (fraction of control simulation climatology; color) and sea level pressure (difference with control simulation climatology; hPa, contours) for a simulation with increased tropical Indian and western Pacific SST; precipitation changes are shown only where the differences exceed the 95% confidence level. B) As in (A), but for December-March temperature (°C, color; values are SST over ocean and 2-meter temperature over land). Colors are shown only where temperature differences exceed the 95% confidence level. Lined contour interval is 0.5°C between 30°N and 30°S and 1°C elsewhere. Global average temperature change has been subtracted.
