The use of covariance matrices in dimension reduction for space-time data
Outline of talk
PCA and EOFs
PCA – some definitions, terminology
Finding PCs/EOFs
PCA in atmospheric science (geoscience)
Example – northern hemisphere sea level pressure (NH SLP)
Slide 8
Example 2 – NH 850hPa streamfunction
Slide 10
Choices in PCA
Covariance or correlation
Covariance or correlation II
How many PCs/EOFs?
Choice of normalisation constraint
Simplification
Simplification II
Rotation
Example of rotation– USA summer precipitation
Slide 20
Other Simplification Methods
