Models are required to reproduce not only the mean properties of climate, but also its variability and the strong spatial relations between climate variability in geographically diverse regions. Quantitative techniques were developed to explore the climate variability and its relations between different geographical locations. Methods were borrowed from descriptive statistics, where they were developed to analyze variance of related observations-variable pairs, or to identify unknown relations between variables. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Guide to Empirical Orthogonal Functions for Climate Data Analysis uses a different approach, trying to introduce the reader to a practical application of the methods, including data sets from climate simulations and MATLAB codes for the algorithms. All pictures and examples used in the book may be reproduced by using the data sets and the routines available in the book .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough the main thrust of the book is for climatological examples, the treatment is sufficiently general that the discussion is also useful for students and practitioners in other fields. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSupplementary datasets are available via \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ehttp:\/\/extra.springer.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-11-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400791602\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-90-481-3702-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 151\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940189708428,"sku":"9789400791602","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400791602.jpg?v=1779056645","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789400791602","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
