Table 1: Correlation coefficients among the precipitations in the eastern, central and western regions, the moisture fluxes over BOB and from AS, and SMRN (Bold values are significant above 95% confidence level). MFe and MFw: northward moisture flux along the eastern route across (85°E to 95°E, 20°N), and eastward moisture flux along the western route across (70°E, 20°N to 30°N). MFs: sum of MFe and MFw. rainc and rainw: summer monsoon precipitations in the eastern, central and western regions in Nepal. CC is listed at the cross-point between two parameters: e.g., CC is 0.47 between raine and rainc.
