Generate time series of lambda values for study years, first using only climate as a source of year differences, then adding climate plus random effects (non-climate deviations). The comparison should serve as a visual guide for how much year-to-year variation was explained by the climate PC's versus getting rolled into the unattributed sources of variance.
