Internal Wave Measurements for Statistical Hypothesis Testing.

Abstract

If internal wave measurements are to be used for a hypothesis test, then the best description of the measurements is a multivariate probability density function. This report discusses the estimation of such a probability distribution, along with the associated concepts of Gaussianity, stationarity, homogeneity, isotropy, and frequency-wave number spectra for random fields. By drawing upon these concepts, the report offers suggestions for thermistor or current meter placement, for Doppler sonar design, and for tests of Gaussianity and stationarity. (Author)
