Application of Parametric Time Series Analysis Methods to Descriptions of Wave-Induced Fluctuations in the Adjacent Airflow.
Abstract
Certain methods of analysis for testing the hypothesis that organized motion exists in the airflow above naturally occurring water waves are examined. In particular, two current methods, spectral analysis and joint probability density function analysis, are briefly discussed; two new methods, matched filters and parametric time series analysis, are suggested. An analysis is done with parametric time series analysis on wind-wave data. The results show the tractability of this data to parametric methods, and the results are in agreement with previous spectral analyses of the data in the regions of overlap. (Author)
