Institute of Physics, New York, 1992).
8. Anomalies are defined as the deviation from the
mean annual cycle for the years 1985­1993.
9. The commonly used NINO3 ENSO index is defined as
the 150°W­90°W 5°S­5°N average sea surface tem-
perature anomaly.

11. The two-dimensional JFD is a matrix whose ele-
ments contain the frequency of occurrence of var-
ious pairs of parameter values (in this case, SW and
LW fluxes). In this research, all data sets are
monthly means and are mapped to 5° 5° spatial
resolution. The JFDs are calculated on the basis of
these data sets.
12. The mean annual cycle is calculated from the
composite 1985­1993 JFD, and then the JFD
anomalies time series is derived. The JFD anomalies
