Gridded correlation between (a) winter (DJF) and (b) summer (JJA) δ18OP at Sarma Cave and 500-hPa Geopotential height (NCEP/NCAR reanalysis30). Monthly δ18OP values are taken from the IsoGSM2 dataset29, with means plotted in Fig. S1d. Dashed and dotted lines indicate areas of 95% and 99% statistical significance, respectively. δ18OP exhibits a strong correlation with the mid-tropospheric dipole in winter, but not summer.
