| Zusammenfassung |
| Relationships between time series are often studied on the basis of
cross-correlation coefficients and regression equations. This approach is
generally incorrect for time series, irrespective of the cross-correlation
coefficient value, because relations between time series are
frequency-dependent. Multivariate time series should be analyzed in both
time and frequency domains, including fitting a parametric (preferably,
autoregressive) stochastic difference equation to the time series and then
calculating functions of frequency such as spectra and coherent spectra,
coherences, and frequency response functions. The example with a bivariate
time series "Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) – sea surface
temperature in Niño area 3.4 (SST3.4)" proves that even when the
cross correlation is low, the time series' components can be closely related
to each other. A full time and frequency domain description of this
bivariate time series is given. The AMO–SST3.4 time series is shown to
form a closed-feedback loop system with a 2-year memory. The coherence
between AMO and SST3.4 is statistically significant at intermediate
frequencies where the coherent spectra amount up to 55 % of the total
spectral densities. The gain factors are also described. Some
recommendations are offered regarding time series analysis in climatology. |
