Methods for the identification of asymmetric wavelets and factor analysis on the example of the monthly dynamics of the greenhouse gases of Antarctica

According to ESRL / GMD FTP data (as of March 9, 2017), regularities in the dynamics of the seven greenhouse gases of Antarctica at the SPO station since March 1975 were revealed and binary relations between them were obtained. In dynamics, as an influencing variable, we obtained a rating of CH4, CO, H2, C14C13, CO2, CO2O18, and CO2C13. Rating as dependent indicators starts with CH4, H2, CO. Greenhouse gas CO2 has the highest linear correlation coefficient of 0.9970. Its wavelet with a one-year cycle has a correlation coefficient of 0.8407.
