Impacts of the El Nino southern oscillation on eastern United States moisture advection : the role of tropical North Atlantic sea-surface temperatures
Previous correlations have been established between the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and both the tropical north Atlantic sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) and precipitation anomalies in the southeastern and mid-Atlantic states. Both bivariate and partial correlations are used over a five and s...
