maps - Climatological mean (a) SST, (d) meridional winds at 700 hPa, (g) 2 m air temperature, and (j) precipitation minus evaporation in summer (May through to August). Regressions of (b, c) the SST (colour shading) and 700 hPa winds (arrows), (e, f) the meridional winds at 700 hPa, (h, i) the 2 m air temperature, and (k, l) the accumulated precipitation minus evaporation on FE in (b, e, g, k) the first and (c, f, h, l) the second summer (May through to August) after the freshwater anomalies (indicated by the “+1” and “+2” in the titles). We removed large-scale trends from the air temperature to reduce the direct warming effect of greenhouse gases (Sect. 2), and we excluded the anomaly in 2016 since it exhibited a different spatial SST distribution from the other anomalies (Fig. A1). Thick contours encompass regions that are significant at the 95 % confidence level, and the red and blue dotted lines in (b) and (c) delineate the regions in which the SST anomalies exceed 2 ∘C and fall below −2 ∘C.
