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

Figure 8

Distribution of correlation coefficients between the predicted summer precipitation by SINTEX-F and prewinter Niño3 SST index from 1982 to 2018. The contour lines denote the correlation coefficients. The shaded area denotes the model topography altitude (units: m). The black dots denote the stations in the western mountainous regions with the correlation coefficients between the JJA precipitation and the prewinter Niño3 SST above 95% confidence level.
