Changes in precipitation under different SSTs. a The mean annual precipitation under the climatology mean SST condition. b, c Changes in mean annual precipitation for La Niña and El Niño SST forcing conditions extracted by the pattern of the climatology mean SST, respectively. df The conceptual illustrations of precipitation associated with different SST forcings. d Convection from the western Pacific (east of Australia) contributes to the precipitation on the continent. e Anomalous warm SST tends to enhance more precipitation in Australia. The SST anomaly is computed as the La Niña mean SST minus the climatology mean SST. f The anomalous cold SST under the El Niño condition suppresses the precipitation in Australia
