Evaluating Linkages between Atmospheric Blocking Patterns and Heavy Rainfall Events across the North-Central Mississippi River Valley for Different ENSO Phases

Table 2

Breakdown of analyzed heavy rain events associated with atmospheric blocking included blocking parameters are the block intensity [17], block duration, and block size. The event number, date (dd mm yy), season (W, Sp, Su, and F), and ENSO phase are shown in column one (E is El Nino, L is La Nina, and N is Neutral).
