Fig. 2. Atmospheric teleconnection patterns during major El Niño events.
Nonzonal component of 200-hPa geopotential height (in m) anomalies in the winter (DJFM) of (A and B) 1982/1983, (C and D) 1997/1998, and (E and F) 2015/2016, for the (A, C, and E) ERA5 reanalysis and (B, D, and F) CESM2 experiment ensemble mean. For the CESM2 experiment, statistically significant values (P < 0.05) are stippled.
