Fig. 4. Wavelet coherence analysis between leading principal components (PCs) of reconstructed streamflow and large-scale climate patterns.

Fig. 4

ad show the wavelet coherence between PC1 of reconstructed streamflow and four large-scale climate patterns, i.e., El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) that significantly affect PC1 of reconstructed streamflow. Wavelet coherence analysis between PC2 of reconstructed streamflow and the four large-scale climate patterns is shown in eh. Solid black contours enclose the statistically significant coherence at a 5% significance level of the white noise process. White lines represent the cone of influence. Color bar represents coherence ranges from low (blue) to high (red). With different lengths of paleoclimate records, the wavelet coherence analysis between leading PCs and different climate indices is based on their overlapping periods.
