This paper compares empirical values of the vector stretch correlation coefficient, and the total vector correlation as fundamentally defined. The former is apparently sufficiently accurate when applied to temporal stretch alone, up to three days, but when applied to space stretch it may have little meteorological meaning unless it exceeds about 0·3 in large data samples (about 450 daily observations).
