Table 1. Summary attributable changes in rainfall.

Comparison of 11 September 00Z full ensembles and 10-member ensemble subsets to the forecasted attribution statement. For the full ensembles, differences in mean values are provided with a 95% confidence interval, which given the large ensemble size matches the 95% confidence interval derived from a bootstrap analysis of 1000 samples. The 95% confidence interval for 10-member ensemble subsets is also derived from a bootstrap analysis of 1000 samples.
