Figure 6.3.1 Relation between the potential evapotranspiration deficit (in mm) and the number of days on which an evapotranspiration deficit occurred, calculated with the method shown in Appendix (section 6.3), for Lincoln, July to June seasons from 1881/82 to 2003/04

Text description of figure
The figure is a scatter plot of potential evapotranspiration deficit at Lincoln (vertical axis, range from 0 to 900mm) against the number of days per year on which an evapotranspiration deficit occurred (range 0 to 250 days), for July-June years over 1881 to 2004. The points are scattered around a straight line of positive slope going through the origin. The slope of the correlation is 3.5mm per day of deficit, and the R-squared for this line is 0.8657.
