The quality-controlled velocities are first detrended before being further analysed to determine mean flow past the sensor and surface wave statistics. These quantities are necessary for later choosing the appropriate inertial subrange model for spectral fitting.

Methods for detrending

There is no exact definition for what consists of a "trend", nor any set algorithm for identifying the trend. The following techniques can be used for detrending [1]:

  1. Linear trend removal
  2. Low-pass linear filters (e.g., butterworth filter)
  3. Empirical modal decomposition

The first two methods presume the original time series is stationary and linear, while the third is adaptive and applicable to nonlinear and non-stationary timeseries.

Measured velocities at 4 Hz from an Acoustic-Doppler Velocimeters have been detrended using three different techniques. Empirical modal decomposition (EMD) [1], linear trend, and a 2nd order low-pass Butterworth filter. A cut-off period of 10 min was targeted by both the filter and EMD
