Abstract

Rainfall probability charts have been used to quantify the effect of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) on rainfall for many years. To better understand the effect of the SOI phases, we discuss forming confidence intervals on the predicted rainfall quantiles using percentile bootstrap methods.
