FIGURE T18. Mean (top) and anomalous
(bottom) sea surface temperature. Contour interval is 2°C (top) and
1°C (bottom). Temperatures >20°C are contoured every degree with
odd contours dashed in top panel. Dashed contours in bottom panel
indicate negative anomalies. SST anomalies are departures from the 1981-2010
base period means (Smith and Reynolds 1998, J. Climate, 11,
3320–3323).
