9. Monthly result (no LP), clear biannual signal 1. Does a positive lag means dT/dy lead? To be consistent w/your older plot (MS fig.3), pls. reverse it to show positve when Uw leads. 2. Pls. redo with “5-year moving” corrletation to get a nice and smooth curve. 3. Pls. replot left figure of this slide#9 (different new *.ps filename) of seasonal_20120314_eda_fluc_svd.pptx with the 3 rd panel replaced by the monthly-ensemble plot (top panel of right figure of this slide).seasonal_20120314_eda_fluc_svd.pptx 4. Pls. replot left figure of this slide#9 (different new *.ps filename) of seasonal_20120314_eda_fluc_svd.pptx with 360d lowpassed dt/dy (thick red?) and 360d lowpassed Uw superimposed also.seasonal_20120314_eda_fluc_svd.pptx (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) 9 5. Pls. repeat this extended-domain SVD (left figure of this slide#9) for 360d LP also. Repeat also using longer NCEP dataset so we can see the correlation wiith AMO – see #23 of seasonal_20120305_eda_fluc_svd-lyo.pptx. seasonal_20120305_eda_fluc_svd-lyo.pptx
