Fig. 4From: Unprecedented warming in Northwestern India during April of 2022: roles of local forcing and atmospheric Rossby wavea The spatial structure of the IOBM for the period of 1979–2022, calculated by the EOF function of monthly SST anomalies obtained from ERSST. b The lead correlation coefficient of the monthly IOBMI with the April PC1 (red line) and PC2 (blue line) during the period of 1979–2022. The zero of x-axis represents the concurrent correlation. c Regression of April SST anomalies with the January IOBMI (colors; °C). The green and black vectors are the mean surface winds during March and April (m/s). d The normalized SATI (black line; the same as the blue line in Fig. 1c), the predicted SATI for the training period (blue line; 1979–2000) and the hindcasting period (red line; 2000–2022)Back to article page
