This article addresses data-driven time-frequency (TF) analysis of multivariate signals, which
is achieved through the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm and its noise …

It has been claimed that the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and its improved version
the ensemble EMD (EEMD) are computation intensive. In this study we will prove that the …

High levels of air pollution can severely affect the living environment and even endanger the
human lives. To reduce air pollution concentrations, and warn the public regarding the …

Sea level rise (SLR) imposes an increasing flooding hazard on low-lying coastal
communities due to higher exposure to high-tide conditions and storm surge. Additional …

for many decades, there has been a general perception in the literature that Fourier methods
are not suitable for the analysis of nonlinear and non-stationary data. In this paper, we …

The Earth has warmed at an unprecedented pace in the decades of the 1980s and 1990s
