Popis: Oxygen -18 records for the Polar sites in Canada and Greenland are compared over the last 3500 years on a 50 yr average basis. The common spatial covariance is found using EOF (Empirical Orthogonal Functions) techniques that identify two main spatial modes that occur with nearly the same frequency. Together these two Eigenvectors explain 50% of the variance in the detrended O-18 records.
