Solving an Eigen Problem to Create Reliable Tree-Ring Chronologies
It is very popular in meteorology and climatology to solve the so-called eigen problem for the meteorological field covariation matrix in order to extract “main modes” of the meteorological field variability. In this paper we depict the application of a similar problem for the tree-ring record covar...
