Figure 10
Figure 10. Correlation coefficient between the local values of monthly
mean precipitation and NCEP EOF SST anomalies, where the latter come
from the NCEP EOF SSTs, values greater than 15% are shaded. The top
panel shows values for observational estimates from Xie-Arkin and the
bottom for ensemble-mean precipitation from CCM3. The contour
increment is 15% and values greater than 15% are shaded.
