Plot of daily values of TMAX (x-axis) vs NAM (y-axis)
Note: to increase scatter, +/- 0.5° is added to obs
  • Large dots - days when both TMAX and NAM were "extreme"
  • Small dots - days when TMAX, NAM, or both were not "extreme"
  • Red horizontal line - threshold for extreme high NAM
  • Blue horizontal line - threshold for extreme low NAM
  • Grey vertical line - mean TMAX for all days
  • Black vertical lines - thresholds for extremes of TMAX
  • Yellow vertical-to-diagonal line - least squares best-fit regression line for TMAX vs NAM
  • If the amount of variance in TMAX explained by NAM is at least 1%, this r² value is shown in the lower right
