Zusammenfassung |
Sea surface temperature (SST), the temperature of the water close to the sea’s surface, is a
key climate variable, influencing both processes in the ocean and in the atmosphere above. In
particular the temporal variability and spatial structure of SST plays a fundamental role in the
El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon in the equatorial Pacific. This
work addresses the classification of SST time series from the Tropical Atmosphere
Ocean (TAO) monitoring array in the equatorial Pacific using a new quantile-based
classification approach. The method considers a pair-wise dissimilarity measure
based on Quantile AutoCovariance Functions (Q-ACF). Q-ACF provides a powerful
tool to examine, for instance, serial dependence in non-Gaussian and/or nonlinear
time series exhibiting features such as time-irreversibility or tail dependence. The
classification results are consistent and spatially-coherent, with a clear separation
between the SST observations from buoys in the western, central and eastern Pacific. |
