How many values (numbers) are in your input data array? 240 x 144, in format longitude vs. time
How many values (numbers) are needed to build each term on the left? 144 for EOFs, 240 for PCs
If 5 EOFs capture most of the data's variance, how much smaller (in the above sense) is the EOFxPC representation compared to the full data set? 240 * 144 - (240 + 144) * 5
2. Read in your field1 (let's call it x again). Use the same data from HW3 data source here.
Perform and display an EOF analysis of your first field.
Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF) homework.
