  1. The results are derived from the ORB run. The correlation coefficient between each index is conducted based on their filtered precession band.
  2. An asterisk (*) indicates the correlation coefficient being above the 90% confidence level, as determined by applying the Monte Carlo test.
  3. A pound (#) indicates the phase in which the coherence square passed the 90% confidence level in the coherence analysis.
