Abstract

For the study of El Niño phenomenon, winds data collected from the Equator belt of Pacific ocean would be analyzed through PCA. In this paper, the 2-dimensional nature of winds is discussed in respect to the possible ways in which PCA may be implemented. Among others, complex PCA is proposed and compared on a small example to other methods based on real PCA. Then, the first results on a larger data table are illustrated.
