<br />Seasonal precipitation
<br />amounts (in percentiles
<br />from 1950-99) for 10
<br />La Nina cases: 1950-
<br />1, 54-5, 55-6, 56-7, 64-
<br />5, 70-1, 71-2, 73-4, 75-
<br />6, and 88-9, based on
<br />the MEI. If 8 or more
<br />I cases out of 1 0 reside
<br />NW-LA
<br />above or below the
<br />median, the distribution
<br />is shifted significantly.
<br />If 4 or more cases
<br />reside in the upper
<br />(800/0) or lower (200/0)
<br />quintile, there is only a
<br />100/0 chance that this
<br />result is by accident.
<br />Conversely, 0 cases in
<br />the highest quintile
<br />denote a significant
<br />suppression of the
<br />same odds.
