“…This wavelet is well localized in both space and frequency and is well suited to detecting discontinuities like cliffs in signals, as demonstrated by its extensive use with geophysical or medical signals (e.g. Muzy et al 1994;Arneodo et al 1995;Venugopal et al 2006;Gerasimova et al 2014;Attuel et al 2018). More importantly, this wavelet allows us to remove polynomial trends of order less than or equal to three from the function f (t), which is important when dealing with long meteorological time series.…”
