Segmenting datasets
From Atomix
Once the raw data has gone through QA/QC, then you must:
- Split the time series into shorter segments by considering:
- time and length scales of turbulence
- stationarity of the segment
- Taylor's frozen turbulence hypothesis, etc ...
- Determine how (or if at all) missing samples should be replaced
- Rotate the measurements into the frame of reference of the mean flow
- Separate the total velocity records using Reynolds decomposition to obtain:
- surface wave velocities
- turbulence velocities
- background mean flow past the sensor
