Figure 1 a-c Maximum correlation coefficients between the lagged sea surface temperature SST over the tropical Indian Ocean and Index I, Index II, and Index III, respectively, in April during 1971-2000. Areas with a coefficient above the 95% confidence level 0.4 are shaded. The contour interval is 0.1. The positive values are contoured with solid lines, while the negative values are contoured with dashed lines. d-f are the same as a-c but for July.
