Chapter 12: Teleconnections Patterns
Figure 12.1: An example oE one-point teleconnections map. The basis point
is at 55N,20W, in the North Pacific. The basis point is surrounded by the
ellipsoidal area oE high correlation pointing to the typical spatial scale oE the
anomalies in that region. Teleconnection patterns appear as remote regions
oE large correlations, either positive or negative. (From Wallace and GutzIer,
1981).
