After the raw velocities are quality-controlled and optionally despiked, velocities must be further processed before analysing the turbulence spectra. The main steps to prepare the quality-controlled velocities for turbulence analysis are the following: # [[Replacement strategies for missing velocities | Replace missing samples]] discarded during quality-control # [[Segmenting datasets]] in preparation to estimate velocity spectra # [[Rotation of the velocity measurements|Rotate the measurements]] into the flow's frame of reference # [[Decomposing velocity measurements|Decompose the velocities]] into the mean, turbulence, and surface waves component When measuring velocities continuously or in long [[Burst sampling|bursts]], some individuals may also [[Detrending time series|detrend the time series]] before beginning any of these processing steps. ----- Return to [[Data processing of raw measurements]] Continue to [[Spectral estimates and identifying the inertial subrange]]
