Values estimated to be significant at p < 0.05 are bolded, those at
p < 0.01 are also underlined. The second entry (where shown) refers
to a second-order polynomial fit to the data (note this is always positive)
and the significance estimate takes into account the reduced degree of
freedom in each sample.
Zhou and Wang [2006] used TRMM data to study the diurnal
cycle of rainfall over the New Guinea region and identified the
relatively complex interaction between convective activity,
land-sea breezes, and orography. Chang et al. [2005] used
TRMM data to demonstrate a strong relationship between
rainfall and winds over much of south-east Asia, including
West Irian.
