PANet is a small C++ code that computes cross correlations between a set of time series, based on small snapshots of the data, in order to see the dynamical evolution of the relations between each two time series. Its most important output is the heighest peak of the cross correlation function. It also gives info such as the second peak, the time delays of both peaks, and the standard deviation of the cross correlation function. There is also a built in option for a phase synchronization based method. The program is specifcally tailored to deal with climate anomaly records in ascii format, so some adaptation may be required for your specific needs... It also supports a masking option in order to select only a subset of all possible pairs, and a surrogate run with scrumbled years. If you are interested in using it and need some help - please contact me . If you use it, you can definitely cite our most recent work. If you improve it - I'll be happy to hear about it .

We (still) don't have a real user manual, but we have a perl script and example input file which will give you a starting point.
