The 9 eastern Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean dominate the relationship, both in terms of 10 intensity and time stability, with significant values in 52% and 47% of years, respectively. 11 More than two thirds of the rainy seasons classified as dry (wet) and 16 out of 18 (12 out 12 of 15) of those classified as very dry (very wet) are concomitant of negative (positive) 13 differences between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. Correlations with the 1 14 tropical Atlantic, the Niño area, and the western Pacific region are generally lower and less 1 15 robust, although, in some periods, they can be high with the southern tropical Atlantic. 0 2 16 Teleconnection observed with continental precipitation and the 950 hPa moisture flux field t 17 confirmed these result
