Decadal co-variability of Atlantic SSTs and western Amazon dry
... Intermediate amounts of total variance are explained by the decadal component of JASSPI (16%) and RNWL (32%) shown in Fig. 1. The correlation between the two decadal time series is 0.79, significant at P<0.01, tested using a random-phase method designed for serially correlated time series [Ebisuzaki ...
