DE3 amplitude anomaly in TEC, E-region zonal wind, and tidal heating. DE3 amplitude anomaly (deviation with respect to the 2007 to 2011 climatological monthly means) in TEC (>200 km) from COSMIC at 15°N magnetic latitude (solid line), TIDI zonal winds at 100 km (averaged between 0°N to 20°N, dotted line), and TRMM- and MERRA-based convective and radiative DE3 heating, averaged from 3 to 16 km (plus symbols). Note the 50% enhancement in winter 2010/11 (La Niña phase) and the lack of any response in winter 2009/10 (El Niño phase).
