Study area. 60 Fox CSUF Geography Cartographic Lab is listed and described in his book. The major purpose of cluster analysis is to select subsets of mutually similar data from a larger set of all such data. A cluster or group is initially formed by the most similar pair; other clusters are formed based on similarity coefficient. Thus, over time all the data will form one large group at a higher similarity coefficient. Therefore, by using cluster analysis, sig- nificant groupings can be formed (Hannes and Hannes 1984). Results and Discussion The results of cluster analysis are presented in the form of a linkage tree (Fig. 2). The upper air locations and SST locations form the vertical axis; the similarity coefficients are along the horizontal. Locations that are most similar pair off at low similarity coefficients. Each cluster is joined with another at larger and larger coefficient values until one large cluster is formed at a value of (Fig. 2). Using a similarity coefficient value of approximately , six groups are formed (Fig. 2). Group one is made up of Bismark, Great Falls, Buffalo, Boise, Medford, and Nantucket. Group two consists of Grand Junction, Ely, Nashville, North Platte, Oklahoma City, Cape Hatteras, and Oakland. Group three consists of El Paso, San Diego, Miami, Brownsville, and SST sampled along the 50th parallel. The fourth group begins with SST located at 40°N, 155°W and ends with 30°N, 130°W. The fifth cluster contains water temperatures found at 20°N, 130°W; 20°N, 140°W; 30°N, 140°W, and 20°N, 120°W.
