The PCA(principal components analysis) was performed to reduce the 240-intercorrelated weather variables into a small number of linearly independent component variables, which explain much of the variance within the original dataset. Component loadings were calculated, which express the correlation between the original weather variables and the newly formed components. The number of principal components, of which the eigenvalue was greater than one, was retained to calculate component scores. Days with similar meteorological situations tend to exhibit approximately similar component scores.

OBS

Saturation aij [(en anglais :] «factor loading») : Corrélation entre une variable originale i et une composante j, indique le poids de chaque variable dans la composante ou (une fois mise au carré) la proportion de variance partagée. Chaque composante est donc interprétée d'après les variables originales avec lesquelles elle présente de fortes saturations (ou partage beaucoup de variance), en tenant compte de leur force et de leur direction. L'interprétation se base en général sur les saturations après rotation.

While weather elements, such as temperature and pressure, are observed only at particular locations, we can assume that these elements are continuously distributed in the horizontal direction. Such a distribution is called a meteorological field; in other words, for any latitude and longitude, some value of that variable exists without any voids or discontinuities. Isobaric Analysis. Many of the surface analysis charts may contain thin solid lines to depict the features of the horizontal pressure field at mean sea level. These lines are called isobars and connect all points having the same sea level corrected barometric pressure.

CONT

Despite the profound changes in the horizontal pressure field accompanying these cyclones, near-surface wind directions show surprisingly little variation.

CONT

À un moment donné, d'un point à un autre, la pression varie dans l'espace. La distribution géographique des pressions, ce que l'on appelle le champ horizontal de pression, est très variable dans le temps et est soumise à des fluctuations permanentes. À chaque niveau de l'atmosphère on peut mettre en évidence de vastes zones où la pression est relativement élevée, ce sont les anticyclones et d'autres secteurs où la pression est relativement basse, ce sont les dépressions. Comme sur une carte topographique, une représentation du champ de pression fait également apparaître des cols barométriques, des talwegs et des crêtes, ces dernières portant le nom particulier de dorsales anticycloniques.

The Next Generation Weather Radar system(NEXRAD) comprises approximately 160 Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler(WSR-88D) sites throughout the United States and selected overseas locations. This system is a joint effort of the United States Departments of Commerce(DOC), Defense(DOD), and Transportation(DOT). The controlling agencies are the National Weather Service(NWS), Air Weather Service(AWS) and Federal Aviation Administration(FAA), respectively. Level II data are the three meteorological base data quantities : reflectivity, mean radial velocity, and spectrum width. From these quantities, computer processing generates numerous meteorological analysis products known as Level III data. Level II data are recorded at all NWS and most AWS and FAA WSR-88D sites. Level III products are recorded at the 120 NWS sites. The data are sent to the National Climatic Data Center(NCDC) for archiving and dissemination.
