Abstract :
Rotary spectral analysis is a widely-used technique for studying elliptical motions in ocean currents, wind, etc. Statistical properties (distribution, bias, confidence intervals) for the estimated rotary coefficient, which measures the tendency to rotate in a counterclockwise or clockwise manner, are derived and applied to ocean current measurements at six depths in the Labrador Sea.
