Presentations of EOF – Correlation Map
qAnother way to present EOF is to correlate the principal component of an EOF with the
original time series at each data point.
qThis way, present the EOF structure in a correlation map.
q In this way, the correlation
map tells you what are the co-varying part of the variable (for example, SST) in the spatial domain.
qIn this presentation, the EOF has no unit and is non-dimensional.
