Plot Description:
This plot compares the growing degree day vs precipitation departure for a given month and station. The departure is expressed in units of standard deviation. So a value of one would represent an one standard deviation departure from long term mean. The mean and standard deviation is computed against the current / period of record climatology. The circle represents a line of equal extremity as compared with the year of your choosing. The dots greater than 2.5 sigma from center are labelled with the year they represent.3 Generated Chart
