I want to apply PCA to geopotential height (obtained from ERA5) to find the patterns. The way have created the dataset is: The columns are different locations (latitude/longitute) and the rows are different time steps. The values are geopotential height a different location at different times. I ran pca in this dataset I would like to create the maps of the patterns (see the picture an example). I am not sure how to do this. Should I plot the eigenvectors for each PCA as a contour plot? I can see that in the picture there is the geopotential height and not the eigenvectors. Any help woould be great! enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Have you taken a look at the eigenfaces algorithm? That might give you a better idea of how to approach it. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 12, 2022 at 11:28
