Empirical Mode Decomposition in 2-D space and time: a tool for space-time rainfall analysis and nowcasting
نویسنده
چکیده
A data-driven method for extracting temporally persistent information, at different spatial scales, from rainfall data (as measured by radar/satellite) is described, which extends the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) algorithm into two dimensions. The EMD technique is used here to decompose spatial rainfall data into a sequence of high through to low frequency components. This process is equivalent to the application of successive low-pass spatial filters, but based on the observed properties of the data rather than the predetermined basis functions used in traditional Fourier or Wavelet decompositions. It has been suggested in the literature that the lower frequency components (those with large spatial extent) of spatial rainfall data exhibit greater temporal persistence than the higher frequency ones. This idea is explored here in the context of Empirical Mode Decomposition. The paper focuses on the implementation and development of the two-dimensional extension to the EMD algorithm and it’s application to radar rainfall data, as well as examining temporal persistence in the data at different spatial scales.

متن کاملA Time-Frequency approach for EEG signal segmentation
The record of human brain neural activities, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), is generally known as a non-stationary and nonlinear signal. In many applications, it is useful to divide the EEGs into segments within which the signals can be considered stationary. Combination of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform, called Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), is a new and powerful ...
متن کاملApplication of Single-Frequency Time-Space Filtering Technique for Seismic Ground Roll and Random Noise Attenuation
Time-frequency filtering is an acceptable technique for attenuating noise in 2-D (time-space) and 3-D (time-space-space) reflection seismic data. The common approach for this purpose is transforming each seismic signal from 1-D time domain to a 2-D time-frequency domain and then denoising the signal by a designed filter and finally transforming back the filtered signal to original time domain. ...

The present article investigates the elasto-thermodiffusive interactions in a transversely isotropic elastic medium in the context of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time parameter and two relation time parameters. The resulting non-dimensional coupled equations are applied to a specific problem of a half-space in which the surface is free of tractions and is subjected to time-dependent th...

Although traditional signal-based structural health monitoring algorithms have been successfully employed for small structures, their application for large and complex bridges has been challenging due to non-stationary signal characteristics with a high level of noise. In this paper, a promising damage detection algorithm is proposed by incorporation of adaptive signal processing and Artificial...
