Description
Top: Seasonal (3-month) CAMS-OPI precipitation anomaly from the long-term mean (green and brown shading at 100 mm interval) and seasonal average 200 hPa standardized streamfunction anomaly (blue contours at 0.25 s.d. interval) over the tropical Indian and Pacific Ocean basins.
Bottom: Same as top plot, but with streamfunction at 925 hPa
