Talk:Processing your ADCP data using structure function techniques

Jmmcmillan (talk) 21:50, 12 November 2021 (CET) Can we change the title of this page to be more specific? Like "Computing the structure functions and dissipation rates"

Jmmcmillan (talk) 21:54, 12 November 2021 (CET) I find the use of [math]\displaystyle{ D(n,\delta) }[/math] a little confusing. In reality, for each range bin and each time ensemble, D only depends on [math]\displaystyle{ \delta }[/math]. Can we drop the n for simplicity?

[DJW] Still figuring out how to use discussion, sorry for being clumsy here! I agree here - we don't actually define n on this page, so it is confusing to have it in the definition of v' and D. I think I wrote this originally and was basing it on the way my code is written, but really mean something like D_n(delta) where n denotes which bin we are differencing around or from.

[DJW] Having just looked through the differencing examples which use the D(n,delta) nomenclature and are quite clear I think, we probably need to stick with this (otherwise we have to change a bunch of other pages).
