Table 1

last modified 2007-03-09 16:51

Table (after Eckhardt et al., 2003) shows coefficients obtained from a multiple linear regression with carbon monoxide as dependent, and time and the NAO index as independent variables: r2 explained variance, a1 intercept (unit ppbv), a2 trend (ppbv/year), a3 slope with the NAO index (ppbv). The analysis was done for the years 1994-2001. Correlations are significant at the 1% level for Spitsbergen and Alert, and at the 0.1% level for Barrow. The major explanatory factor is the NAO index.


Location r2 a1 a2 a3
Spitsbergen 0.41 170 -0.9 3.3
Barrow 0.44 186 -2.4 4.0
Alert 0.28 187 -2.7 2.8
