Prediction of Precipitation in the Western Mountainous Regions of China Using a Statistical Model

<div>Distribution of correlation coefficients between monthly precipitation and prewinter Niño3 SST index from 1979 to 2008: June (a); July (b); August (c). The contour lines denote the correlation coefficients above the 95% confidence level. The shaded area denotes the altitude (units: m). The black dots denote the stations in the western mountainous region with the correlation coefficients between the JJA precipitation and the prewinter Niño3 SST above 95% confidence level.</div>
