Principal component analysis (PCA) loadings for spectral data. The figure compares PC1 (left) and PC2 (right) loadings for 2024 and legacy (2004) datasets. PC1 explains ~97% variance in both datasets, while PC2 accounts for ~2%. This highlights consistent variance structures and stable feature contributions over time.
