Abstract
The method of empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) is used to analyse spatio-temporal data obtained from simulations of heterogeneous catal ysis. It is found that EOFs are well suited for the quantitative deter mination of transients in the data. The effectivity of the technique i s demonstrated using synthetical data with an analytically known trans ient component. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
