Part II then considers sources of quantitative evidence, selecting systematic cross-national and time-series indices from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) project.
The inclusion of an estimated time-series index of areal soil moisture status into the calibration procedure, however, significantly reduced the number of feasible parameter combinations, and resulted in predictions that confirmed Bowen ratio measurements of actual evapotranspiration.
Sea surface temperature 4 (SST4, also known as, El Niño 4 index) time series, an index for ENSO, a global climatic phenomena associated with extreme weather in Central America was obtained from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center (http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/ersst3b.nino.mth.81-10.ascii).
The time series of index values at a location, derived from calibrated imagery, represents a consistent surrogate to track density changes.
The second types of methods are time series method, index analysis, and factor analysis.
Time series vegetation disturbance index results indicate that in Guna-Tana watershed, since 2001, vegetation disturbance index values were at range of natural variability.
Appendix A: Gamma distribution based SPI calculation Appendix B: Time series of drought indices Appendix C: Spider web plots of drought indicator results for selected stations Appendix D: Scatter plots of drought indices versus crop yield anomalies Appendix E: The regression equations developed for the selected eight zones and for the four crops.
Using time series composites, spectral indices were calculated and compared using a hexagonal grid ring model to assess changes in vegetative and urban patterns.
In this paper, we integrate annual image time series, continuous spatial indices, and non-parametric trend analysis into a spatiotemporal study of landscape dynamics over the Phoenix metropolitan area from 1991 to 2010.
An example is the time series of stock indices over a period of time.
