2. Rose Plots • These were created using the mean summary statistic from each of the variables for each of the 15 clusters displayed. • It is important to look at the scale of each of the graphics as these graphs can be deceiving that way.

3. All Variables – Independent Scale for Each Graphic in Trellis

4. All Variables – Common Scale for All Graphics in Trellis

5. Only Precipitation – Independent Scale for Each Graphic in Trellis

6. Only Precipitation – Common Scale for All Graphics in Trellis

7. Only Temperature – Independent Scale for Each Graphic in Trellis Take note of how graphic is created with negative values

8. Only Temperature – Independent Scale for Each Graphic in Trellis  HISTOGRAM

9. Only Temperature – Common Scale for All Graphics in Trellis

10. Only Temperature – Common Scale for Each Graphic in Trellis  HISTOGRAM

11. Line Graphics – Grouped by Cluster Spatial Neighborhood For examination the clusters colors on the map and in the graphics have been matched up (as best possible).

12. 15 Cluster Solution at 10’ Spatial Resolution The colors have been matched (as best as possible) with the colors of the lines in each of the subsequent line graphs CLUSTER 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
