Fig. 6. Simulated global JJA Z200 and precipitation response to imposed diabatic heating anomalies in the tropics.
a The Z200 (unit: m) and b precipitation responses (mm/day) in the CESM1 to two additional heating sources added in tropical Western and Central Pacific. The green (10°S-0°, 110°E-150°E) and brown (0°-10°N, 120°E-80°W) color-filled ovals imposed in a denote the location where a pair of positive and negative heating sources are added in the CESM1. The cross-hatched areas in a and b denote the significant differences between the CTL and SEN experiments (Methods section) based on the two-sample t-test, p < 0.05.
