<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<div>I have sst(time) and pre(lon,lat,time) low pass filtered data sets. I can calculate spatial correlation, but for the
significance test using Students's t- test I need to use effective degrees of freedom as my data have been filtered. I went through NCL website and found ''equivalent sample size'' function which I think is quite different from the effective degrees of freedom. Is there a function or a way to use Effective Degree of freedom to perform spatial correlation analysis?</div><div><br></div><div>Ndof =N(1-r1r2)/(1+r1r2), where N is sample size, r1&r2 are the lag-1 autocorrelations of the two time series.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.</div><div>Dickson.</div></div>
