LOD: Length of Day Data

In EPT: Ensemble Patch Transform, Visualization and Decomposition

Description

The length-of-day was produced by Gross (2001) from 20 January 1962 to 6 January 2001. The length-of-day (LOD) data was analyzed in Huang et al. (2003).

Usage

data(LOD)

Format

A list of LOD, YEAR, MONTH and DATE
