*Confidence levels, based on a 2-tailed t-test, are shown by asterisks, where *** = 99%, ** = 95% and * = 90%. The three correlation values for each pair of climate variables are those computed for: (top) the 11-month moving average; (middle) monthly values; and (bottom) de-trended, monthly values.
