1- 157 x 136 matrix containing calculated drought series for each 136 GWL records over 157 years. NAs present where no GWL record present. Drought threshold method used after Peters et al, 2003. 2 - 139 x 767 matrix containing calculated streamflow drought series for 767 streamflow gauges over 139 years. Value represents Boolean of whether a drought occurred in calendar year. 3 - 201 x 157 x 136 array of cross-wavelet transform pval results between 136 groundwater level records over 157 years at 201 frequency intervals. NA values present where no values recorded in original GWL series. 4 - 201 x 157 x 767 array of cross-wavelet transform pval results between 767 streamflow records over 157 years at 201 frequency intervals. NA values present where no values recorded in original GWL series. 5 - 201 x 157 x 136 array of cross-wavelet transform power results between 136 groundwater level records over 157 years at 201 frequency intervals. NA values present where no values recorded in original GWL series. 6 - 5 - 201 x 157 x 767 array of cross-wavelet transform power results between 767 streamflow records over 157 years at 201 frequency intervals. NA values present where no values recorded in original GWL series. 7 - 157 x 136 matrix containing phase difference values between the NAO and 136 groundwater level records over 157 year time period. Phase difference for the 7.5 year periodicity. 8 - 157 x 767 matrix containing phase difference values between the NAO and 767 streamflow records over 157 year time period. Phase difference for the 7.5 year periodicity.
