• This needs to read better for a layman.
  • Stronger narrative.
  • Higher level explanation needed throughout.
  • Stronger introduction
  • Stronger summary
• Make case for general interest
  • Standing waves are produced by lock release so this is a problem in any lock release setup
  • Is this a novel solution?
• Context needed r.e. change of reference frame.

• General plan is good, just need to get on paper.
• Where possible make remarks about key physical features.
• Possibly worth a focus on the lower level structures.
• Mention EOF earlier on.
  • emphasise advantage over EOF immediately
• 'approx state space trajectory' - how does EOF do this? (maximises variance)
• make sure explanation clear to an experimental reader
• Translational structures
  • EOF can represent with pairs of modes with similar variance. These can show sinusoidal translation. Classic example is in MJO.
  • Can we see translational structures in DMD modes? (KH billows)
• Can we order modes differently?
  • length scale of features?
  • variance at low levels?
• Do any of the modes show a low level signal?
• Do the larger scale (or any scale) modes have events propagating to the surface?
• Can we take first two DMD / EOF modes and recompose into a timeseries? Can we still see KH?
• Wheeler Hendon diagrams
  • Can we do this for DMD?
  • Should be trivial (Im vs. Re for mode) -> should give spiral in phase space
  • Can we compare with EOF?
• Multiple runs
  • Just look for consistency between runs
• Can we feed in e.g. momentum flux? Same result?
• Conclusions
  1. How do EOF / DMD describe known structures (KH billows)?
  2. What do we learn about low levels and other things? Length of head etc.

Aims:

1. How does this novel data fit in with our preconceptions of a gravity current's structure?
   • Highlight key features.
2. Lower level - characterise the turbulence at this level.
   • Is there a transition in behaviour through time? (e.g. events -> homogeneity)

• Explain limitations of aims in introduction, i.e. this is a lead in to later work.

Hey, your code looks great! I have trouble to get the make pdf to work and have a hard time finding out what is wrong. I don't know why it creates a NoneType. I just cloned your repo and installed most of the packages in environmental.yaml.

pandoc-internal-references==0.5
pandocfilters==1.2.2

Here is the error that I get (I have tried with python 2.7 too):

• Needs results!
• Two aims:
  1. Ridgelet technique and potential for atmospheric / oceanic data
  2. Wave properties as a function of external parameters.
• Can runs be separated into different regimes?
  • Need a diagram that shows how runs are distributed over phase space.
  • Reference to white and helfrich regime diagram.
• Differentiate between mass transfer requirements of current and waves.
• Look at coupling between first wave and current.
• Discussion of whether waves formed by current motion of initial conditions? Is this even a well posed question?
