a–g Zonal-SST anomalies regressed on the precipitation-PC1 (color-scale), the contours show precipitation anomalies regressed on the SST-PC1. h–n Meridional precipitation anomalies regressed on the SST-PC1 (color-scale), the contours show the SST anomalies regressed on the precipitation-PC1. The stipples in panels a–n denote statistical significance at the 95% confidence level and the contour intervals are 0.1 K for SST, 0.3 mm/day for precipitation. o–u Normalized precipitation-PC1 (dashed, blue) and SST-PC1 (solid, red). The correlation between the two PC1s is indicated in the top-right corner of each panel.
