Signal Relationships
Explore how different environmental signals relate to each other over time. Understanding these relationships helps identify leading indicators and potential intervention points.
Important: Relationships shown here are observational correlations, not proven causal links. Many factors can influence these patterns. Use this information as a starting point for investigation, not as definitive evidence.
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)
