Abstract

Horizontal empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) were determined from a sample of 11 876 500 mb analyses given at 1404 gridpoints covering the northern hemisphere north of 20°N. Due to computer restrictions a joining method had to be applied. The set of 175 EOFs determined explains 99.5% of the total variance in the dependent sample and 99.6 to 99.7% in the independent samples.
