Time Series Analysis

filter1d.m

Filter1D: Time Series Analysis Tool

  • The Matlab utility provides users of the SMS, a one-stop package for preparing model input time series and allows users to interpolate, resample, filter, and transform any type of model forcing and supports SMS compatible file formats for ease of data transfer.
  • The main feature of the software is the ability to apply high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, and band-stop filters to time series.
  • Filter1D uses a windowed sinc filter which is a non-recursive finite impulse response filter.

TAP Interface

TAP: Tidal Analysis and Prediction software

    • TAPtides is the ideal package to explore and develop preliminary or finalized tidal predictions from serial records spanning several weeks to several months.
    • Designed to be easy to use, its Graphical User Interface permits quick separation of a time series of water level measurements into its tidal and non-tidal components using a selective least squares harmonic reduction employing up to 35 tidal constituents.
    • After saving the tidal constants for the constituents selected during analysis, the user can generate predictions of the astronomical tide, the water level that varies at known tidal frequencies attributable to gravitational interactions between the earth, moon, and sun.

Post-processing

Matlab scripts

Read CMS-Flow solution files

  • Description: Reads the CMS-Flow XMDF (*.h5) solution file in Matlab. Can read individual datasets are the whole solution.
  • Usage:

filename = 'test_sol.h5';
sol = readcmsh5(filename);
wse = readcmsh5(filename,'Water_Elevation');
[wse,uv] = readcmsh5(filename,'Water_Elevation','Current_Velocity');


Read SMS Time Series Data File

  • Reads the Surface-water Modeling System time-series data (*.tsd) file in Matlab.
  • Usage:

[t,dat,name,units] = read_tsd('data.tsd');


Bin scatter data

Example of xyzbin.m application to multibeam data with 5-m bins.
  • Description: Averages the x, y, and z values of points within the same bin. The grid used to define the bins may be user specified are calculated based on the extent of the scatter points.
  • Usage:

[x,y,z] = xyzbin(...);
[x,y,z] = xyzbin('infile',infile,'outfile',outfile,'dx',dx);
[x,y,z] = xyzbin('x',xin,'y',yin,'z',zin,'dx',dx);
[x,y,z] = xyzbin('x',xin,'y',yin,'z',zin,'dx',dx,'dy',dy);
[x,y,z] = xyzbin('infile',infile,'dx',dx,'x0',x0,'y0',y0,'theta',theta);


Interpolation of CMS-Wave Spectra

  • Description: Interpolates the energy spectra in the CMS-Wave *.eng file to a specified output interval which may be specified in intervals or time units (hours). For example, an output interval of 0.5 index units, interpolates the spectra at half intervals. This subroutine is useful for filling small gaps in CMS spectra.
  • Usage:

interp_eng('Wave.eng','New.eng',1,0.5) %interpolates to every half interval
interp_eng('Wave.eng','New.eng',1,2)   %resamples every two spectra
interp_eng('Wave.eng','New.eng',2,1)   %hrs


Principle Component Analysis of Vector Time Series

  • Description: Calculates the principle axes of vector time series data. This subroutine is useful for determining the main direction of fluid flow and extracting the velocity component along the major axis.
  • Usage:

s = uv2ellipse(u,v);
s = uv2ellipse(u,v,show);  %show=1 - Plots results
s = uv2ellipse(u,v,show,pos); %pos - displays a table on figure with results at pos=(x,y)

  • Output:
s = Structure with the following fields:
area = Area del ellipse
axes = Magnitude of ellipse axes [major, minor];
vartotal = Total variance
Percentages = Percentage variance for each axes
Angles = Angles for each axes in degrees [major, minor];
excen = Excentricity of the ellipse
ellipse = Points [x,y] which describe the ellipse
Slope = Slope of the linear fit which goes through the origin
Center = Center of the ellipse [cu,cv]
  • Note: An alternative simple way of determining the principle axes of vector time series is
