Changes in East Antarctic temperature due to MJO rainfall clusters

Caption

(Left) East Antarctic warming associated with an anomalous high pressure (H) excited by the MJO rainfall events in the Indian Ocean. (Right) East Antarctic cooling associated with an anomalous low pressure (L) caused by the MJO rainfall events in the western tropical Pacific. The blue (red) line indicates anomalous atmospheric low (high) pressure at sea level.
