¥EOF1 gives loadings of the linear function of 1008 variables that has maximum variance.
¥EOF2 similarly, except that the linear function is constrained to be uncorrelated with the first.

¥First principal component (the first linear function) accounts for 21% of total variance in 1008 variables and contrasts high latitudes with mid-latitudes (especially Pacific and E Atlantic/SW Europe) - Arctic Oscillation.
¥Second mainly contrasts Pacific and E Atlantic and accounts for 13% of total variance.
