Partial regressions for eddy kinetic energy at 700 hPa (shaded, 10 2 m 2 s -2 ) as a measure of African easterly waves (AEWs) and precipitation (contours, mm day -1 ). In addition, the area with climatologically westerly winds in ( d ) is masked out. Purple dots indicate where regressions of eddy kinetic energy are significant above the 95% confidence level based on a Student’s t -test. The regressed values of eddy kinetic energy over the Americas and Pacific Ocean are masked out.
