Uncovering Correlation Patterns in Masked Earth Science Data
CorrelationCorrelation analysis is an important statistical tool in the geosciences, used to identify relationships between different variables. In many cases, however, data sets may contain missing or masked values, which can make it difficult to calculate correlations accurately. In this article, we will explore different methods for calculating correlations in masked arrays and discuss their

Decoupling ENSO Correlation from Ocean Bottom Pressure Data: Techniques for Earth Scientists
CorrelationThe El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a phenomenon that occurs in the tropical Pacific Ocean and is characterized by periodic warming and cooling of sea surface temperatures. This phenomenon has a significant impact on global weather patterns and can also affect oceanic processes, including ocean bottom pressure. Removing the ENSO signal from ocean bottom
