Additional file 1: Table S1. of Associations between malaria and local and global climate variability in five regions in Papua New Guinea

The periods of time for the respective local weather and global climate models for each study locations. Table S2: The crude Pearsonâ s correlations among malaria cases and local weather factors during the study period at each study location. Figure S1: Cross-correlations for malaria cases and local weather factors. Cross-correlations identify the lagged relationships. The correlograms shows the correlations between malaria cases at time t and local weather at lag time t + k (i.e., k is a lag). Figure S2: Cross-correlations for malaria cases and global climate factors. The associations between malaria cases at time t and global climate indices at time t + k (i.e., lag). Figure S3: Time series plots for malaria cases, precipitation, and minimum temperature in each region during the study period. Figure S4: Correlation, histogram, and plot matrix for EMII, NINO3.4 Anomaly, DMI and SAM during 1997 â 2008. (PDF 1057 kb)
