Hard data (circle) and is showed. From figure2.1, color bar and time bar of data are showed on the left and below of figure.

3. Compute Trend and Residual From Data
User can choose “No Detrending”, “Kernel Smoothing” or “STmean” in this step. In this example, we will use “STMean”.

4. Covariance Analysis

4.1 Empirical Covariance Estimation
For this case, we will set:
Spatial Distance Limit: 0.1179 Temporal Distance Limit: 11700.0
Number of Spatial Lags:8 Number of Temporal Lags:8
Spatial Lag Tolerance:0.01684 Spatial Temporal Tolerance: 1671.0

And press “Plot Empirical Covariance”.
