Sample Calculations

Because the Data Library is designed to manipulate datasets, it is possible to concisely request sophisticated analyses.

Examples

These are manipulations of SSTA (sea surface temperature anomaly), a function of longitude,latitude, and time.

correlation - correlation between SSTA and SOI time correlation removes the time dimension, leaving a function of longitude and latitude.
lagged correlation - lagged correlation between SSTA and SOI adds a time-lag dimension to the correlation calculation, leaving a function of longitude,latitude and lag.
ssta svd - Singular Value Decomposition of sea surface temperature anomaly an operator given a variable, returns a dataset containing several variables.
