FURTHER EVIDENCE OF DYNAMIC PERSISTENCE AND OF ITS APPLICATION TO FORESHADOWING

Abstract

Detailed evidence is presented of the relationship of the winter and preceding fall pressure in the Philippines and adjacent areas with the winter precipitation of the North Pacific and North America, affirming the principle of dynamic persistence. An examination of several dynamic-persistence relationships during the l7-year period from 1939-1940 to 1955-1956 shows their foreshadowing performance to be appreciably better than could be obtained from probability and simple persistence considerations.
