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]:
- Linear trend removal
- Low-pass linear filters (e.g., butterworth filter)
- 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.
