Smoothed trajectories through shared low dimensional state space
PC1 vs PC2 separated into individual storms. Global manifold plotted in grey with individual storm’s trajectory evolving through that space colored by time. Plotted data is averaged over a 20 point rolling window, bars are their respective std values. Each storm has a coherent progression through the PC space, exhibiting a complex and nonlinear relationship between the 4 features in a shared 2D state space space.
