The SAW index has been shown to be a reliable predictor of future economic growth, and has been used by policymakers and researchers to assess the impact of economic shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

A positive index indicates the Indian Ocean gains water (~1.5 Sv), while the Pacific loses it (~2.6 Sv), with a signature on Earth’s polar motion. B. Summer Temperature Dipoles

The normalized values are multiplied by their respective weights and summed up to generate the final SAW index for each alternative. Mathematically, the formula is expressed as:

Watch the chips. If chips are dusty or powdery, your Saw Index is too low (increase feed). If chips are welded to the tooth or blue, your Saw Index is too high (decrease SFPM or increase feed to thin the chip).
