Fig. 2. Evolution of the 2023 coastal El Niño.
Longitude-time Hovmöller diagram of u10 anomalies (line contours with an interval of 2 m/s; positive black and negative gray) as well as (A) observed SLA (cm, color shading) and (B) simulated SLA from the OGCM CTRL run (cm, color shading). All meridionally averaged over 2°S to 2°N. Latitude-time evolution of (C) SSTA (°C, color shading) and SLA (line contours with an interval of 2 cm; positive black and negative gray), and (D) rainfall (millimeters per day, color shading) and v10 anomalies (line contours with an interval of 1 m/s, positive black and negative gray) zonally averaged over 80°W to 85°W. The dashed line indicates the approximate time when the coastal rainfall and wind anomaly signals disappear.
