Figure Lengend Snippet: Observation sites and mean circulation. a Locations of the NPEIM mooring array (green triangles). Color shading shows the ETOPO1 bathymetry in the northwestern Pacific (data from https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/ ). The maps in this figure are generated by MATLAB R2013a with M_Map (a mapping package, http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html ). b Latitude-depth plot of the mooring-observed mean zonal velocity along 143°E (colors and black contours). Black thick solid, thin solid and thin dashed contours denote the zero, positive and negative velocities, respectively, with the contour interval of 0.05 m/s. Green triangles and dots indicate positions of ADCPs and current meters on each mooring, respectively, and green dashed lines indicate the observation range of ADCPs. Brown shading indicates the bottom topography along 143°E based on the half-degree smoothed ETOPO1 data. Notice that vertical scale between 1000–4000 m is different from that in the upper 1000 m. Names of the zonal currents are marked in the figure (purple words). The acronyms SEC, EUC, EIC, NICC, NECC, NESC, NEC, NEUC, and STCC represent South Equatorial Current, Equatorial Undercurrent, Equatorial Intermediate Current, North Intermediate Countercurrent, North Equatorial Countercurrent, North Equatorial Subsurface Current, North Equatorial Current, North Equatorial Undercurrent, and Subtropical Countercurrent, respectively

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Averaged SST anomalies in the SEIO during December 2015-April 2016. Stars denote locations of representative SEIO reefs. ( b – e ) Composited SST anomalies for the El Niño events during January 1982-April 2015 and ( f – i ) for the La Niña events in the same time period. The white contours and dots indicate anomalies exceeding the 95% significance level based on a two-tailed Student’s t test. JJA = June to August, SON = September to November, DJF = December to February of year 1, MAM = March to May of year 1. Figures are plotted using MATLAB R2015b ( http://www.mathworks.com/ ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a – j ) Composite SST anomalies during El Niño and La Niña events at ten selected reefs. The error bars denote 95% confidence intervals. ( k ) Time series of standardised SST anomaly averaged in extended summer months (December-April) at the Scott reef and standardised November-January averaged Niño 3 index; ( l ) time series of standardised SST anomaly averaged in extended summer months (December-April) at the Ningaloo reef, standardised Niño4 index and IPO index. The red (blue) stars in ( k , l ) denote the developing years of El Niño (La Niña). Figures are plotted using MATLAB R2015b ( http://www.mathworks.com/ ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a , b ) Duration (bars) and mean intensity (dots) of MHW events peaking in extended summer months (December-April) at the Scott and Ningaloo reefs, respectively. The time axis corresponds to the peak month of each MHW event. The red (blue) stars denote the developing years of El Niño (La Niña). ( c – g ) Composited characteristics of MHW events at the 10 reefs in the extended summer months (December-April) of El Niño and La Niña events. The error bars denote 95% confidence intervals.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a – f ) Climatological mean, anomalous 925 hPa wind (arrows) and OLR anomalies (shaded) during spring and summer of opposite ENSO polarities. Anomalies exceeding the 90% significant level based on a two-tailed Student’s t test are displayed (black arrows for significant wind anomalies and grey for insignificant ones). The cyan box in ( d ) indicates the region where the Australian monsoon index is defined. ( g ) The composites of the Australian monsoon wind index. The red and blue circles are onset dates of Australian summer monsoon during El Niño and La Niña respectively. The shadows denote corresponding 95% confidence intervals. ( h ) Lagged regression of 850 hPa zonal component of wind and wind speed averaged in the box indicated in ( g ) onto Niño3 index in January and seasonal cycle of 850 hPa zonal component of wind averaged in the box.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Distribution of the MHW peaks in extended summer months as a function of MJO phases at ( a ) the tropical Ashmore (circles) and Scott Reefs (stars) and ( b ) subtropical Ningaloo Reef (circles) and Shark Bay (stars). The percentages stand for the proportions of MHW peaks in that phase of strong MJO and are boxed in red (blue) where they are significantly greater (less) than the average occurrence (8.3%). Only MHWs with duration of less than 20 days are shown. Figures are plotted using MATLAB R2015b ( http://www.mathworks.com/ ).
