VARIANCE SPECTRUM ANALYSIS,

Abstract

Variance Spectrum Analysis stands as one of the 'tools of the trade' used by the geophysicist in his search for certain species of order which he suspects might be buried somewhere in the noisy recesses of his data sample. For certain jobs, it is a beautiful precision tool; for other jobs, it is useless. The report presents one method of attack which has been used with some success in the examination of the principles underlying the technique of variance spectrum analysis. We feel that we have taken a step in the right direction by translating into terms which the average applied meteorologist can follow - the details of an analysis technique which has heretofore rested in the hands of a meager few meteorologists while being common knowledge to the electrical engineering profession. The approach is our own, and stands as it does simply because we have found it quite useful to view the entire technique as a special case of regression analysis. (Author)
