Resumé	Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is a statistical technique that identifies dominant spatial patterns and temporal variability in atmospheric or oceanic data. When applied to geographically distant locations, EOF analysis reveals teleconnection patterns—coherent patterns of variability that link weather systems across ocean basins and continents.	Maximum covariance analysis (MCA) is a statistical technique that identifies coupled patterns of variability between two spatially distributed fields (e.g., sea surface temperature and precipitation). Unlike EOF analysis which focuses on variance in a single field, MCA identifies spatial patterns that are maximally correlated between two different fields.
