Fig. 5.
Surface Flux generated Temperature Anomaly April–July for 2005, 2010 and 2017. Initial condition—SSTA March (a–c). Estimated temperature anomaly April–July based on anomalous surface fluxes (d–f). Estimated SSTA in August formed by summing the initial condition and April–July surface flux generated temperature anomaly (g–i). Observed SSTA in August (j–l). Estimated minus observed August SSTA (m–o). Black box indicates MDR region. Colourbar units °C
