About
ACYCLE
Time series analysis plays a fundamental role in the natural sciences. In growing important geoscience application, recognition and interpretation of climate signals in proxy records can be time consuming and subjective.
Three reasons motivated the development of the Acycle time series analysis program:
(1) There is a need to broaden and encourage the experience of time series analysis in the geosciences, especially in paleoclimatology and cyclostratigraphy.
(2) There is a need to speed the process for the time-series analysis steps, which can be very time-consuming.
(3) There is a need to provide objective methods for the analysis of paleoclimate signals as reproducibility becomes a major challenge.
We acknowledge our inspiring freeware predecessors: Analyseries, Arand, and Astrochron.
