Notes

Pardé seasonality is the difference between the maximum and minimum Pardé coefficient. A Pardé series consists of 12 Pardé coefficients, corresponding to 12 months. Pardé coefficient for, for example, January is its long-term monthly mean head divided by the overall mean head. The higher the Pardé seasonality, the more seasonal the head is, and vice versa.
