Relationship between monthly rainfall in northwest Iberian Peninsula and North Atlantic sea surface temperature
Abstract This study assesses the relationship between monthly North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) and a regional index of rainfall (NWIPR) in northwest Iberian Peninsula during the period 1951–2006 by means of the Pearson product‐moment correlation. Results show a strong influen...
