Correlation coefficients over 204 months of MSU 2R and surface temperature anomalies. Monthly anomalies were computed relative to the mean annual cycle for 1979-1995. Values less than 30% are indicated by the dark shading, and values greater than 60% are indicated by the light shading. The contour increment is 15%, and regions of insufficient data are not contoured.
