Auteur :
HARRISON, M. S. J.

Description :
Time series (scores) of rainfall from cloud bands across South Africa, generated through principal component analysis, are compared with equivalent estimated time series developed from satellite imagery and surface data. For most summer months the principal component scores are useful first approximations to the true time series. (AJC).
