Table 1 Correlation coefficients and partial correlation coefficients (in brackets) between SMI and TI with IMI, WNPMI, ICMIs, Niño 3 index, EMI and DMI for MAM, JJA and SON. It should be noted that partial correlation between Niño 3 with SMI and TI has excluded the influence of EMI and DMI and the same process was done to EMI and DMI. For the partial correlation between IMI with SMI and TI, it has excluded the influence of Niño 3, EMI and DMI. The same was done for WNPMI and ICMIs. The significant value for 95% two-tailed Student t-test is 0.29
