Fig. 17From: Spatiotemporal vertical velocity variation in the western tropical Pacific and its relation to decadal ocean variabilitySchematic representation of the upwelling strength in the NEC region and temperature anomalies in the a positive and b negative PDO phases. SST anomalies are denoted by solid shades and subsurface temperature anomalies dotted shades. High and low temperature anomalies are colored red and blue, respectively. The sea surface Kuroshio and Mindanao currents are illustrated by solid arrows and the subsurface subtropical gyre interior currents dashed arrowsBack to article page
