Mixed-layer heat budget during various stages of ENSO following volcanic eruptions. (A) NINO3 region average (5°S to 5°N, 90–150°W). Bars indicate the total advective and flux components of the budget. Blue arrow indicates budget decomposition 0–5 mo following seasonally variable eruptions and red arrow indicates June–December of the year following the eruption. Green arrows indicate budget decompositions for El Niño and La Niña events in the 850 control simulation run as part of the LME (21). (B) Decomposition of the surface flux term in the heat budget over the NINO4m region (Left: NINO4m is a NINO4 index shifted west by 20° to compensate for GCM mean-state biases, as in ref. 27; limits are 5°S to 5°N, 140°E to 170°W) and the NINO3 region (Right), for the period 0–5 mo following each eruption.
