Introduction
The EOF Error Map Method is for finding interesting times in time-indexed model output. A classic example of time-indexed model output would be the data sets you get from a computational fluid dynamics experiment. The method makes it easy to identify times to focus your analysis on, even when the data set is too large to easily visualize.
Presentation of EOF Error Maps
This is an introduction to EOF Error Maps for time indexed-model output.
