Figure 2 Spatial distributions of the linear trends for DTR #cod#x000b0;C per decade, left panels and surface-to-300-hPa PW % per decade, right panels over China during 1970-2012 for a, b annual, c, d winter, and e, f summer changes. The stippled areas are statistically significant at 0.05 level. The pattern correlations of PW trends with their DTR counterparts are -0.30, -0.15, and -0.40 for annual, winter, and summer changes, respectively.
