EOF (Principal Component) statistical patterns have been computed for surface velocity in Monterey Bay during 1999 using the following procedure:

1. Interpolate radial current over 20 degree sectors.
2. Combine radial currents hourly using 3 km search radius.
3. Flag times with missing data for each grid point.
4. Linearly interpolate in time hourly for each grid point.
5. Low-pass-filter using 33 hour cut-off tidal filter.
6. Re-flag gaps greater than 6 hours.
7. Fill spatial gaps for out to long-term 75% coverage limits for individual maps with 75% coverage using 2-D Gaussian correlation scales computed each month.
8. Construct EOF modes and amplitude time series from combined U/V fields for filled-in maps.

EOF Results for 1999:
	Percent Variance in Modes 1-10
	Mode 1 & 2 Spatial Pattern
	Amplitude Time Series for Modes 1-2
	Amplitude Time Series vs. Along Shore Winds at M1
	Amplitude Time Series vs. Cross Shore Winds at M1
	Amplitude Time Series vs. M1 Winds Scatter Plots
