CFS Spatial Anomaly Correlation
Spatial anomaly correlation is calculated for each starting month for all
hindcast year. Correlation for different areas is calculated for different variables, including:
Nino34 region (190E-240E/5S-5N), global, global tropics (20S-20N), tropical Pacific (20S-20N),
North Pacific (20N-60N), North Atlantic (10N-40N), hurricance MDR region (20W-80,10N-20N),
PNA sector (20-70N,180-60W), norther hemisphere (20N-70N), and the continental United States (US).
