In the context of analysing turbulence observations, detrending typically refers to removing the low-frequency signal such that the signal retains contributions from turbulence and surface waves (if present). In ocean environments, this time scale is usually of the order of minutes.
There is no exact definition for what consists of a "trend", nor any set algorithm for identifying the trend [1]. The following techniques can be used for detrending [1]:
- Linear trend removal
- Low-pass filtering using moving averages or linear filters (e.g., butterworth filter)
- Empirical modal decomposition
