Predictive Oscillation Patterns: A Synthesis of Methods for Spatial-Temporal Decomposition of Random Fields
预测振荡模式:随机场时空分解方法的综合
Spatial-temporal decompositions of climatologic fields have been obtained using a range of techniques, including principal component analysis (PCA) and principal oscillation patterns (POPS). PCA decompositions are forced to be correlated to the original field, but they may not capture interesting aspects of temporal variation. On the other hand, POPS decompositions focus on temporal variation but are not forced to correlate to the field. Here we introduce a hybrid of these…
