Fig. 7: Scatter analysis of WG rainfall variability against circulation and MSE.

Scatter diagram of filtered anomalies of WG area-averaged (selected area shown in the Fig. 1) summer mean rainfall with summer mean a zonal wind (m/s) at 1000 hPa, b Relative Vorticity (*10−7 S−1) at 1000 hPa, and c MSE (kJ/kg) averaged over the 1000–200 hPa for period 1; d, e, f for period 2 and g, h, i for period 3, respectively. The linear best fit line is overlaid in each panel.
