Cycle Analysis Method of Tree Ring and Solar Activity Based on Variational Mode Decomposition and Hilbert Transform

Abstract

According to the correlation of tree ring and solar activity, the cycle analysis method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and Hilbert transform is proposed. Firstly, the tree ring width of cypress during 1700 to 1955 beside the Huangdi Tomb and the long-term sunspot number during 1700 to 1955, respectively, are decomposed by VMD into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Secondly, Hilbert transformation on the decomposed IMF component is performed. Then, the marginal spectra are given and analyzed. Finally, their quasiperiodic properties are obtained as follows: the tree ring width has the quasiperiodicity of 2 to 7a, 10.8a, and 25a; the sunspot number has the quasiperiodicity of 8.3a, 9.9a, 11.1a, 52.2a, and 101.2a. The result obtained by analyzing that quasiperiodicity shows that the main periods of tree ring width and the sunspot number in the same period are basically consistent, and tree ring width has other cycles. This shows that sunspot activity is an important factor affecting tree ring growth, and tree ring width is influenced by other external environments.

Event Pattern Analysis: Peak Detection and Pattern Comparison

“…Direct analysis of event occurrences is desirable when event data are available. Huang et al (1998) develop the empirical mode decomposition for analyzing nonlinear and nonstationary data (Rilling, Flandrin, and Goncalves (2003); Li et al (2004)). The method decomposes a data set into intrinsic mode functions, which is more flexible than the Fourier transformation.…”

Underwater Acoustic Signal Prediction Based on MVMD and Optimized Kernel Extreme Learning Machine

“…e MVMD decomposition result of the underwater acoustic signal and the decomposition result of the EMD is shown in Figures 16 and 17. e chaotic component is mainly concentrated in the high-frequency component [36], and the stronger the chaos, the higher the prediction difficulty. To compare the prediction performance of MVMD-OKELM and EMD-OKELM in more detail, this paper selects the high-frequency component imf1 of EMD decomposition and the highfrequency component imf8 of MVMD decomposition for comparison.…”
