Abstract
Multivariate analysis is being carried out on glacier-climatological data in two stages. This paper describes the first stage, which is an application of principal components technique to the available data. The multicollinear climatological variables are transformed into orthonormal principal components. The characteristics and the interpretation of these principal components are described. Data transformations and the ensuing results are explained. The transformed new variables, the component vectors, are interpreted in terms of weather types. Recommendations are given for the second stage of the analysis, which is an application of multiple regression on principal components aimed at the estimation of runoff
