Periodograms of the raw rainfall time series identified seasonal components which oscillated yearly for 4-, 6- and 12-month periods (repeating patterns occurring, tri-annually, bi-annually and once per year, Figure 2B) the signals of each repeating oscillation were isolated along with the long-term trend of rainfall.
This pattern, fairly consistent annually, reflects the difference in size of the regional wine industries.
The ability of blue whales to tan in response to UV exposure may be connected to their historic migratory patterns as they move annually from higher to lower latitudes with a greater amount of sunlight.
The climate of Pawaga and Idodi divisions is semi-arid to arid, with bi-modal rainfall patterns providing approximately 500 mm annually (Walsh 2000; Arnold 2001).
Inter-census calibration could also be supported by direct estimates of changing market penetration and use patterns as well as additional annually updated population proxies such as tax records.
At a latitudinal, basin scale, zooplankton diversity patterns are strongly correlated with annually averaged sea surface temperature and to a lesser extent, salinity, and negatively correlated with average sea surface chlorophyll [77].
Rainfall level varies annually with intermittent patterns that peaks in April-May, July August and October November.
In Vietnam, ILI is a key priority for public health also because of its annually recurring temporal pattern.
Between 1992 and 2008, foodborne Salmonella outbreaks reported to national surveillance fell from nearly 150 per year to just over 20 annually, and the pattern of decline closely mirrors that of laboratory-confirmed cases [ 25].
Medicare -- which pays for some $100 billion of inpatient hospital care annually, and sets the pattern for many private insurers, as well -- is not the sole driver of this investment.
