| Vs | - (Fig. 1) Lack of color intensity differentiation for the eastern Pacific region during La Niña, potentially causing misconceptions about SST conditions. |
| Mn | - (Fig. 3) No explanation provided for the white arrows, which may be misinterpreted as trade wind directions.- Atmospheric and oceanic processes presented in separate schematics, making the coupled interaction of ENSO less intuitive. |
| Cj | - (Fig. 7) No explanation provided for the white arrows, creating potential for misinterpretation. |
| Ks | - (Fig. 9) No explanation provided for the meaning of the colors used to represent atmospheric circulation.- Arrows depicting surface warm water movement may misleadingly suggest vertical movement from deeper ocean layers, leading to possible misconceptions. |
| Kh | - Atmospheric and oceanic processes presented in separate schematics, limiting intuitive understanding of ENSO as an atmosphere-ocean coupled system. |
