Signal Relationships

Explore how different environmental signals relate to each other over time. Understanding these relationships helps identify leading indicators and potential intervention points.

Understanding Lag Relationships

Many environmental signals have lead-lag relationships. For example, nutrient levels in water may increase before algal blooms appear. Understanding these timing patterns helps identify early warning signals and potential intervention windows.

  • Positive lag: Signal A changes before Signal B
  • Stability score: How consistent the relationship has been over time
  • Correlation strength: How strongly the signals move together (or opposite)
