INTERANNUAL TO INTERDECADAL VARIATIONS OF THE REGIONALIZED SURFACE CLIMATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND RELATIONSHIPS TO GENERALIZED FLOW PARAMETERS

摘要: This analysis attempts to discern primary causes of interannual and interdecadal climate variations for precipitation temperature regions the conterminous United States. Varimax rotated principal components annual division data is used in derivation nine five regions. Each region's time series examined underlying linear trends, representing long-term change, tests variance changes, determine regional variability shifts. The first six components, entire eastern half country Northwest, displayed significant temporal increases. Of these, four increases through time. For temperature, only Southwestern region showed a change (increase) However, reductions were confirmed three To derived shifts, correlatio...
