Figure 4 Composite a-c surface air temperature and d-f precipitation anomalies over the European continent averaged from lag-2 to lag+2 days for the blocking events over: a, d Greenland, b, e EAWE, and c, f east Europe. Thick solid dotted lines in the shaded area denote the positive negative anomaly region above the 99% confidence level for a two-sided Student¡¯s t -test. The units of temperature precipitation anomaly are #cod#x000b0;C mm. The correlation distribution of g-i the surface air temperature and j-l precipitation with winter mean blocking frequency time series for the blocking events over: g, j Greenland, h, k EAWE, and i, l east Europe. The shaded area indicates the correlation coefficients above the 99% confidence level for a correlation test.
