Manthorpe et al. Correlation matrix across the weather parameters summarised over a 15-day prior the report of an acute bovine liver disease event

Correlation matrix across the weather parameters summarised over a 15-day prior the report of an acute bovine liver disease event or the same calendar date the one or two years prior. Reported estimates are pairwise Pearson’s correlation coefficient (<em>r</em>, ranging between -1 and +1). <br> Abbreviations: avg, average; cum, cumulative; DP, dewpoint (degrees Celsius; °C); OID, outbreak identification; Odate, outbreak date; PID, property identification; prec, precipitation (millimetres; mm); RH, relative humidity (per cent; %); sol. exp, solar exposure (Joule(s) per square metre; MJ/m2); Tavg, average temperature (degrees Celsius; °C); Tgap, average temperature gap (Tmax-Tmin); Tmax, maximum temperature (degrees Celsius; °C); Tmin, minimum temperature (degrees Celsius; °C); Tmin-DP, average of daily minimum and dewpoint at 9am temperature gap (degrees Celsius; °C); vap. press, vapour pressure (hectopascals; hPa). Correlation estimates with a star (*) were significantly different from <em>r</em> = 0.00 at the 5% significance level. Strong (<em>r</em> ≥ 0.67) significant (<em>P </em>&lt; 0.05) positive (<em>r</em> &gt; 0.00) correlations are reported in green, mild to moderate (0 &gt; <em>r</em> &lt; 0.67) significant (<em>P </em>&lt; 0.05) positive (<em>r</em> &gt; 0.00) correlations in clear green, strong (<em>r</em> ≤ -0.67) significant (<em>P </em>&lt; 0.05) negative (<em>r</em> &lt; 0.00) correlations are reported in dark red, mild to moderate (-0.67 &gt; <em>r</em> &lt; 0) significant (<em>P </em>&lt; 0.05) negative (<em>r</em> &lt; 0.00) correlations in weak orange, and non-significant correlation (<em>P </em>&gt; 0.05) correlation in gray.
