Primer on Fourier Analysis for the Geosciences Crockett Robin University of NorthamptonPaperback / softback
Time-series analysis is used to identify and quantify periodic features in datasets and has many applications across the geosciences, from analysing weather data, to solid-Earth geophysical modelling. The book starts with a discussion of statistical correlation, before introducing Fourier series and building to the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and related periodogram techniques. This intuitive introduction provides a practical 'how-to' guide to basic Fourier theory, with a particular focus on Earth system applications.
These examples highlight the key concepts and encourage readers to investigate more advanced time-series techniques. The theory is illustrated with numerous worked examples using R datasets, from Milankovitch orbital-forcing cycles to tidal harmonics and exoplanet orbital periods. The book concludes with a consideration of statistical effect size and significance. This
