In modem sediments particular assemblages of species are characteristic of particular environmental conditions. Therefore it is possible to use species assemblages in ancient sediments to infer past sea-surface temperatures and other variables, and these techniques provide a wealth... 

What is the spatial distribution of the relative significance of sea surface temperature, wind speed, and pollutant concentration for the variability of the volatilisation of DDT Are there temporal and spatial regimes in which one of the parameters is more important than the others ... 

The correlation coefficients between a 10 year monthly mean time series of volatilisation rates and SST, 1 Om wind speed and pollutant concentration are used to elucidate which of the parameters drives the volatilisation rate changes and causes the deviations from the long term mean. All of the parameters do not vary independently. Since both SST and wind speed influence the volatilisation rate in a nonlinear manner, it is not intuitive whether an increase in wind speed leads to an increase in volatilisation rate. A raise in wind speed that coincides with a decrease of the sea surface temperature can lead to a negative linear correlation coefficient between volatilisation rate and wind speed. For that reason the partial correlation coefficient is calculated in addition to the simple linear correlation coefficients. It explains the relation between a dependent and one or more independent parameters with reduced danger of spurious correlations due to the elimination of the influence of a third or fourth parameter, by holding it fixed. One important feature of the partial correlation coefficient is, that it is equal to the linear correlation coefficient if both variables... 

Partial correlation coefficients are denoted by R12.34, linear correlations by R12 substituting 1,2,3,4 with sea surface temperature (t), 10m wind speed (u), volatilisation rate (v) and pollutant concentration (c). Indices after the dot refer to variables held fixed in the calculation.
