Cross-wavelet power spectra between DF and mean temperature (A), rainfall (B) and absolute (C) and relative (D) humidities in Hanoi from 2002 to 2009 (left column). The right column shows the phase angles of the climatic variables (blue, left y-axis) and DF (red, left y-axis), as well as their difference (black, right y-axis). These phase angles are calculated on signals that have been filtered around the period of maximal power in the spectra of the left column, i.e. annual periodicity for all the climatic variables, as well as also the semi-annual periodicity for the relative humidity. In spectra of the left column, the black contour lines show the regions of power significant at the alpha-risk of 0.05, the paled region of the spectrum delineates the cone of influence due to the zero-padding of the time series, and the power increases from dark blue to dark red.
