Figure 9
Composite patterns of latent heat (LH) flux (W m−2) performed as the difference between years of extreme rainfall exceedance and those of extreme rainfall deficit from the time series of the extreme rainfall amount of (a) Eof1, (b) Eof2, (c) Eof3, and (d) Eof4. Black contours on the tropical Atlantic provide the 95% confidence Student’s -test.
