SSu-warm. The horizontal dashed lines correspond to the values 703 of standard deviations. Values of the trends in 27 years are indicated in the titles for both 704 NCEP and ERA-Interim reanalysis, and the significant ones are in rectangles. Vertical lines 705 are the same as in Fig. 2. f-g. Equivalent trends (the value of the linear regression slope of 706 the curve, multiplied by the number of years) values over 27 years for DJF (f.) and JJA (g ,
