Abstract

Methodology that allows revealing a linkage between synoptic processes of North Atlantic and Ukraine is described. Such an approach is based on the joint use of principal component analysis and continuous wavelet transform. It is shown that synoptic processes of North Atlantic and Ukraine are coherent during some time interval.
