In the original version of the article, there is a diagonal line in figures 1, 3 and 4. The correct Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 is given below,

Fig. 1
figure 1

Composite May mean OLR (shaded, W m−2) and wind at 850 hPa (m s−1) for a El Niño, b La Niña, their differences c El Niño-La Niña. In OLR difference (c), dots indicate area significant at 95% confidence level based on a two tailed t-test

Fig. 3
figure 3

Composite May mean SST (shaded, °C) and divergent wind at 200 hPa (ms−1) for a El Niño, b La Niña, their differences c El Niño-La Niña. In SST difference, dots indicate area significant at 95% confidence level based on a two tailed t-test

Fig. 4
figure 4

Composite May mean wind at 200 hPa (m s−1) for a El Niño, b La Niña, their differences c El Niño-La Niña. In wind difference, only winds significant at 95% confidence level based on a two tailed t-test are plotted
