Note: On this map and the following ones, the class intervals were determined using the classification method developed by Fisher (1958) and applied in the R software environment. Inflection points are identified in order to group data in a way which minimizes differences between values within each class while maximizing the variation between classes.

* Period from 1 July 1980 to 30 June 2010.
