In the Introduction,
“The maximum continental warming follows the solar heating northward, whereas the maximum cooling of the ocean surface, driven by meridional and zonal wind stress, is geographically fixed just south of the Equator. These different physical processes combined with land-air interactions3,4 lead to a more step-wise than gradual onset of the WAM5.”
should read:

In the legend of Figure 1,
“SST biases against OISSTv2 for the months July to August.”
should read:
