Figure T11: Fig. 10.22
The numbering gets tricky for this figure. There are two figures consisting of a total of 4 panels. Mike will decide later if he wants panels pared by variable (as they are now) or by time. Originally, the figures were SST-wind and SLP-wind, but now, to my understanding, they are SST-wind and precipitation-wind.

Sea-surface temperature and surface winds in warm (1997-98) and cold (1998-99) ENSOs. November through April averages. SST (HadISST) and winds (ERS-2). All fields are 1-degree latitude-longitude resolution.

Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) precipitation and ERS-2 winds for warm and cold ENSO years (as above). The GPCP values are the averages of the 1-degree latitude-longitude daily values over the prescribed months.

Figure T12: Fig. 10.26

big GIF | PDF | PNG | PS
Kansas-mean daily summertime maximum temperatures for 1930-69. Values for 1934, 1935, and 1936 are plotted as red, green, and blue, respectively. Data from the global daily climatology network (GDCN) from NOAA NCDC. The Kansas-mean is based on 14 stations in 1934-36 and 10-14 stations in the other years.
