Fig. 1From: Local and remote SST variability contribute to the westward shift of the Pacific Walker circulation during 1979–2015The changes of the Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) in reanalysis datasets. a Shows the climatology (contours) and the trend (color shading) of the PWC from 1979 to 2015 in the ensemble-mean of six reanalysis datasets. The gray dots represent the areas with confidence level of 95%. b Quantifies the total trend (change in 37 years from 1979 to 2015) of the PWC in the multi-reanalysis-mean (MRM) and each of the six reanalyses, with black bars showing the amplitude of the trend and the error bars indicating its 95% confidence intervals. c–e Quantify the westward shifts of the west edge (c), the center (d), and the east edge (e) of the PWCBack to article page
