SST anomalies in the Pacific during (a) 1970-76, a period of predominantly positive NOI values and (b) 1991-97, a period of predominantly negative NOI values. Yellow-red (blue) shades denote positive (negative) anomalies. Open dots denote positions of SLP anomaly time series used to construct the NOI (North Pacific High, 35 deg N 130 deg W and Darwin, Australia 10 deg S 130 deg E) and SOI (Tahiti 18 deg N 150 deg W and Darwin).
