Mann & Lees Multi-Taper Method (MTM)
- Multitaper spectral analysis which
provides an optimally low-variance, high-resolution spectral estimate.
- Assumptions regarding signal (narrowband, but not strictly periodic) and noise ("red") that are most appropriate in the context of climate studies.
- A "robust" method for accurate
determination of the noise component of the spectrum.
The MTM Method is Described in:
Mann, M.E., Lees. J., Robust
Estimation of Background Noise and Signal Detection in Climatic Time Series,
Climatic Change, 33, 409-445, 1996.
The MTM Method is Used in the SSA-MTM Toolkit

Mann & Park MTM-SVD Multivariate Signal Analysis
- Detection of irregular spatiotemporal oscillatory signals immersed in spatially-correlated coloured noise with optimal signal detection properties
- "Evolutive'' approach to detecting intermittent and/or frequency-modulated spatiotemporal oscillations.
- Reconstruction of spatial and temporal patterns of oscillatory climate signals
MTM-SVD Fortran codes, synthetic test dataset, and analysis results
NOTE: an issue was brought to our attention about averaging angles in the code: mtm-svd-recon.f. More details and
a potential fix can be found here.
Codes Include:
- "LFV" multivariate spectrum estimation
- Spatiotemporal signal reconstruction
- Bootstrap confidence level estimation procedure, along with
required subroutines, makefiles, and the synthetic test input and output.

Python version of the code can be found HERE and is derived from the MATLAB code developed by Marco Correa-Ramirez and Samuel Hormazabal. Python code generously provided by Mathilde Jutras, a doctoral student at McGill University as of July 2020.
