a Average temperature (avgtemp), maximum temperature (maxtemp), minimum temperature (mintemp), average rainfall (avgrf), maximum daily rain fall (maxrfd), average maximum relative humidity (maxrh), minimum relative humidity (minrh), ocean temperature (octemp), and ocean salinity (ocsant); b *, ** and *** indicate significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% level of probability, respectively.
