Figure 6

Effect of time and ENSO phases in annual maximum of the monthly averages of wider Caribbean DHW. (a) Conditional plot of time effect in annual heat stress, the color of points represents the dominant ENSO phases in each year: neutral (black), La Niña (blue) and El Niño (red). (b) Cross-sectional plots illustrating the fit of the wider Caribbean annual heat stress with an additive interaction between time and ENSO phases. (c) Box plots showing distribution of annual heat stress during ENSO phases. The ENSO phase category was identified from the ONI time series (http://origin.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ONI_v5.php), classifying El Niño years as those with anomalies above 0.05 °C, La Niña years as those below −0.05 °C and neutral years as those in the range of −0.05 to 0.05 °C.
