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?
- Djwain (talk) 22:44, 14 November 2021 (CET)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.
Djwain (talk) 22:51, 14 November 2021 (CET)I agree with Justine on the three ways of dealing with the data being somewhat confusing.- I am having a very hard time visualizing what is being explained in item 1 because I don't process my data this way. I think we probably need to be giving some guidance on why you might do a forward vs a center difference and maybe branch based on that. The forward difference example is really nice and helpful I think!
Djwain (talk) 22:53, 14 November 2021 (CET)I also agree that step 7 should probably be in QA2
Djwain (talk) 22:53, 14 November 2021 (CET)A schematic is definitely needed here - SF is much easier to visualize I think than read! I don't have any schematics that I have made (and thus own for distribution).
