New Metrics of the Tropospheric Biennial Oscillation in the East Asian Summer Monsoon and Its Interdecadal Shift |
Figure 4 Leadlag correlation coefficients between EASMI LZ , an East Asian Summer Monsoon index that includes area-averaged seasonally dynamical normalized seasonality DNS at 850 hPa within the East Asian monsoon domain 10-40”ćN, 110-140”ćE, and global SST from September -1 to May 1 for a 1958-2010, b 1958-79, and c 1980-2010. The thick horizontal line indicates the equator, and the dotted-dashes lines bound the tropics. The middle line of July 0 indicates the reference month of EASMI LZ . Here, -1, 0, and 1 in parenthesis indicate previous, current, and following years, respectively. The green purple areas are significantly negative positive correlation areas, exceeding the 95% confidence level. |
