Description :
The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between fluctuations in the Southern Oscillation and the pattern and intensity of precipitation anomalies associated with the Southwest Monsoon. Sixty-five years (1920-1984) of July and August monthly precipitation data from Arizona and New Mexico are normalized using a square root transformation, converted into z-scores, and stratified according to onset and following years for Warm Events and Cold Events of the Southern Oscillation.
