Tornadic debris are critical aspects of tornado studies because airborne debris pose significant threats to life and property, and debris often dominate backscattered radar signals, causing biased Doppler velocity measurements. ...
SOME LOCAL AND GLOBAL ASPECTS OF MATHEMATICAL DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
(2010)
We propose to use L^p norm of a given digital signal to identify the location where the dramatic chang occurs. The theory is based on Sobolev type inequalities on one dimensional intervals.
