Caption

Sea-surface temperature (SST; shading) and precipitation (PRCP; contours) anomalies during the three peak months of (a) Eastern Pacific (EP), (b) Central Pacific (CP) and (c) Coastal (COA) El Niño events. Colored circles indicate characteristic locations of proxy records, with deeper colors indicating stronger precipitation response to each ENSO flavor (brown for drier, blue for wetter).
