DIGITAL ANALYSIS OF TURBULENCE DATA ON THE IBM 360/67 AT THE NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL

Abstract

A system of time series programs used by the Institute of Oceanography of the University of British Columbia was made available to the Department of Oceanography of the Naval Postgraduate School in February 1969. This report summarizes the system and outlines the procedures to be followed in using the programs. The system consists of three programs labelled UBC FTOR, UBC SCOR and UBC FCPLOT. The program UBC FTOR computes Fourier coefficients from selected channels of analog-to-digital tape and writes them on another tape. The program UBC SCOR reads the tape produced by UBC FTOR and from the Fourier coefficients calculates spectra, cospectra and quadrature spectra for the channels indicated. These are computed for each data block. The printed output gives for each quantity the average, standard deviation and a number representing the trend over the blocks. In the case of co- and quad-spectra phase and coherence are also printed out. The program UBC FCPLOT provides a Calcomp plot of the spectra for qualitative analysis.
