A Hidden Markov Model Applied to the Daily Spring Precipitation over the Danube Basin

Table 2

Correlation coefficients between observed and simulated precipitation by NHMM taking into account atmospheric predictors (first 10 PCs) over the Atlantic European (AE) and the European (E) regions. MEOF here represent a combination between SLP, geopotential at 850 hPa, and specific humidity at 850 hPa.
