Longitudinal–time cross sections for (a) surface temperature (K), (b) positive downward net radiation (W m−2), (c) LW radiation (W m−2), (d) net SW radiation (W m−2) at the top of the atmosphere, and (e) low cloud coverage (%) anomalies from the climatological value averaged for the 10°S–10°N region during 1997–99. Data were obtained from the ISCCP, JRA-55, and CMIP6 historical AMIP simulations. Vectors and contours in all panels show surface wind anomalies (m s−1) and EIS (0.1-K intervals), respectively. Light brown and blue-green contour lines correspond to positive and negative anomalies, respectively. Gray shading denotes missing values.
