Anchorage-Cordova Pressure Gradient

The gradient at the time of the report shows little correlation to the magnitude of the report. The maximum gradient within 18 hours of the report exhibits more of a positive correlation (+0.40).



The time difference shows a positive correlation to the magnitude of the report (+0.31). This suggests that the maximum pressure gradient tends to lead weaker events and lag stronger events.
