If we take a further step and consider the atmospheric state at a location (or even the global average) with respect to temperature or precipitation, we may observe that physics does not imply any preservation law for temperature (the total energy is preserved, not temperature) or for precipitation (the total water balance is preserved, not the rate of precipitation).

Correlation (color) and regression maps (contour) of SST (left) and SLP (right) associated with the first EOF modes of annual precipitation (a, b), low - frequency precipitation (c, d), and total water storage (e, f), which are calculated using annual mean data for the first EOF mode of annual precipitation, 10 - year running mean for precipitation, and 10 - year running mean leading with 5 - year for total water storage.
