The common EOF was produced using EOF, with the combined
December-February (DJF) 2-meter air temperature data field from European
Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF; UK) reanalysis ( see URL:
http://www.ecmwf.int/) and HIRHAM dynamically dowwnscaled
scenarios from the ECHAM4-GSDIO scenario (Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany; URL: http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/). The region is 5E - 25E, 58N - 65N.
