Functional connectivity is typically measured using one of three approaches: (1) regression analysis using a seed region of interest (Greicius et al., 2003; Fox et al., 2005), (2) full or partial correlation analysis of multiple regions of interest (Ryali et al., 2012), or (3) independent component analysis (ICA) of the entire imaging dataset to identify spatial maps with common temporal profiles (Beckmann and Smith, 2004; Cole et al., 2010).
Although it is well established that the Sun's magnetic field is responsible for the supply of energy to the atmosphere, exactly how this magnetic energy is converted into thermal energy is still not understood in detail, as models struggle to simultaneously encompass the very disparate temporal and spatial scales on which the heating has to occur, in different structures, with a wide variety of characteristics (e.g. open versus closed structures, short quiet - sun loops versus hot active - region loops and large - scale interconnecting loops).

The equations for Rossby waves (Calculation of the Meridional Wave Number, Physics of the Parameter, and Calculation of the Amplitudes) show that this can occur if a set of necessary conditions are met: u ¯ > 0 in the midlatitude region; the highest value of l within the waveguide is in the range of the meridional wave numbers lm dominantly contributing to the external forcing with a given m, which provides closeness of the k waves to respective m waves not only in terms of the zonal but also the meridional wave numbers, favoring the QRA of the m waves; the total latitudinal width of the waveguide is no less than the characteristic spatial scale of the relevant Airy function (25), which is used as the boundary condition at its southern and northern boundaries; and latitudinal distribution of l is sufficiently smooth in the waveguide, and both TPs lie within a midlatitude region of ∼ 25 ° N — 30 ° N and ∼ 65 ° N − 70 ° N, as the necessary condition for the application of quasilinear Wentzel − Kramers − Brillouin (WKB) method (25) when solving the equations for Rossby waves.

Spatial sampling uncertainties were estimated by simulating poorly sampled periods (e.g. 1753 to 1850) with modern data (1960 to 2010) for which the Earth coverage was better than 97 % complete, and measuring the departure from the full site average when using only the limited spatial regions available at earlySpatial sampling uncertainties were estimated by simulating poorly sampled periods (e.g. 1753 to 1850) with modern data (1960 to 2010) for which the Earth coverage was better than 97 % complete, and measuring the departure from the full site average when using only the limited spatial regions available at earlyspatial regions available at early times.
«Bias might be introduced in cases where the spatial coverage is not uniform (e.g., of the 24 original chronologies with data back to 1500, half are concentrated in eastern Siberia) but this can be reduced by prior averaging of the chronologies into regional series (as was done in the previous section)... Eight different methods have been used... They produce very similar results for the post-1700 period... They exhibit fairly dramatic differences, however, in the magnitude of multidecadal variability prior to 1700... highlighting the sensitivity of the reconstruction to the methodology used, once the number of regions with data, and the reliability of each regional reconstruction, begin to decrease.
Furthermore, you would also have noticed that by 1500, the spatial coverage included four of the five spatial regions defined with the first appearance of data from the fifth region coming only after 1600.
Even with the generally large spatial coherence and correlation length scales of temperature anomalies at polar latitudes (e.g. Hansen et al. 1999; Chapman and Walsh 2007), none of the reconstruction methods can escape the basic limitation of few in situ observations in West Antarctica, and all exhibit less skill in this region compared with other regions of the continent.

It has been shown, by sampling globally complete data with realistic temporal and spatial variability, that this extrapolation procedure yields a more accurate estimate of annual global temperature than global integration methods that restrict the area to regions very close to observed points.
