#'Compute the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Index
#'
#'Compute the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index based on the leading EOF 
#'of the sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies over the north Atlantic region 
#'(20N-80N, 80W-40E). The PCs are obtained by projecting the forecast and 
#'observed anomalies onto the observed EOF pattern or the forecast 
#'anomalies onto the EOF pattern of the other years of the forecast. 
#'By default (ftime_avg = 2:4), NAO() computes the NAO index for 1-month 
#'lead seasonal forecasts that can be plotted with PlotBoxWhisker(). It returns
#'cross-validated PCs of the NAO index for hindcast (exp) and observations 
#'(obs) based on the leading EOF pattern, or, if forecast (exp_cor) is provided,
#'the NAO index for forecast and the chosen corresponding data (exp or obs).
#'
#'@param exp A named numeric array of North Atlantic SLP (20N-80N, 80W-40E) 
#'  hindcast anomalies from \code{Ano()} or \code{Ano_CrossValid()} with 
#'  dimensions 'time_dim', 'memb_dim', 'ftime_dim', and 'space_dim' at least.
#'  If only NAO of observational data needs to be computed, this parameter can
#'  be left to NULL. The default value is NULL.
#'@param obs A named numeric array of North Atlantic SLP (20N-80N, 80W-40E) 
#'  observed anomalies from \code{Ano()} or \code{Ano_CrossValid()} with 
#'  dimensions 'time_dim', 'ftime_dim', and 'space_dim' at least.
#'  If only NAO of experimental data needs to be computed, this parameter can 
#'  be left to NULL. The default value is NULL.
#'@param exp_cor A named numeric array of the Nort Atlantic SLP (20-80N, 80W-40E)
#'  forecast anomalies from \code{Ano()} or \code{Ano_CrossValid()} with 
#'  dimension 'time_dim' of length 1 (as in the case of an operational 
#'  forecast), 'memb_dim', 'ftime_dim', and 'space_dim' at least.
#'  If only NAO of reference period needs to be computed, this parameter can
#'  be left to NULL. The default value is NULL. 
#'@param lat A vector of the latitudes of 'exp' and 'obs'.
#'@param lon A vector of the longitudes of 'exp' and 'obs'.
#'@param time_dim A character string indicating the name of the time dimension
#' of 'exp' and 'obs'. The default value is 'sdate'. 
#'@param memb_dim A character string indicating the name of the member 
#'  dimension of 'exp' (and 'obs', optional). If 'obs' has memb_dim, the length
#'  must be 1. The default value is 'member'.
#'@param space_dim A vector of two character strings. The first is the dimension
#'  name of latitude of 'ano' and the second is the dimension name of longitude
#'  of 'ano'. The default value is c('lat', 'lon').
#'@param ftime_dim A character string indicating the name of the forecast time 
#'  dimension of 'exp' and 'obs'. The default value is 'ftime'.
#'@param ftime_avg A numeric vector of the forecast time steps to average
#'  across the target period. If average is not needed, set NULL. The default 
#'  value is 2:4, i.e., from 2nd to 4th forecast time steps.
#'@param obsproj A logical value indicating whether to compute the NAO index by
#'  projecting the forecast anomalies onto the leading EOF of observational 
#'  reference (TRUE) or compute the NAO by first computing the leading 
#'  EOF of the forecast anomalies (in cross-validation mode, i.e. leaving the 
#'  year you are evaluating out), and then projecting forecast anomalies onto 
#'  this EOF (FALSE). The default value is TRUE. If 'exp_cor' is provided, 'obs'
#'  will be used when obsproj is TRUE and 'exp' will be used when obsproj is 
#'  FALSE.
#'@param ncores An integer indicating the number of cores to use for parallel 
#'  computation. The default value is NULL.
