Keywords

RANDOM PROCESS CERTAINLY CANNOT BE A GAUSSIAN RANDOM PROCESS SINCE NON-LINEAR EFFECTS ARE SO STRONGLY PRESENT. THE PROBABILITY STRUCTURE OF THE MODEL IS THEREFORE UNKNOWN. ALSO
THE INTERPRETATION OF THE SPECTRUM ITSELF IS DIFFICULT FROM A PHYSICAL POINT OF VIEW. A RANDOM MODEL OF WAVES THAT IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON LINEAR ASSUMPTIONS HAS BEEN STUDIED ACTIVELY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND IS THE BASIS OF CONSIDERABLE WORK IN THE FIELD
GRAVITY WAVE
