The tonalness spectrum shows the likelihood of a spectral bin being part of a tonal or non-tonal component. It is a non-binary measure based on a set of established spectral features. An easily extensible framework for the computation, selection, and combination of features is introduced. The results are evaluated and compared in two ways. First with a data set of synthetically generated signal...

Response 4: The introduction will be changed to contain: Sussmann et al. 2013 did a similar study on the inter-comparison of methane from MIR and NIR retrievals. They used a Tikhonov-L1 regularized profile retrieval scheme with the standard NDACC retrieval package SFIT2 for the MIR and the standard TCCON retrieval (GFIT) for the NIR spectra. They conclude that the obtainable information from th...

-In this paper we study the effect of round trip propagation delay in performance measures of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks. Even though the impact of propagation delay is substantial in optical networks behavior, most of the studies ignore the effect of this object in throughput and delay evaluation. We assume a WDM Local Area Network (LAN) where the round trip propagation de...
