Fig. 6. For annual means (May through April) of precipitation amounts, shown are the correlations (top) and regression coefficient in mm/day (bottom) with the SOI for 1979-1998. Values were smoothed to T31 resolution and are cut off at 60° N and 60° S. For the correlations, contours are every 0.2 except the ±0.2 contour is omitted. Values exceeding 0.4 are significant and values › +0.6 are hatched and ‹-0.6 are stippled. For the regression coefficient, contours are every 0.25 mm/day.
