Wavelet Coherence
Wavelet coherence (WTC) is a normalized measure of correlation between two time series in the time-frequency domain, eliminating the amplitude-dependence of the raw cross-wavelet transform. Introduced by Torrence and Webster (1999) and formalized by Grinsted, Moore, and Jevrejeva (2004), WTC quantifies how tightly two signals are coupled at each time-frequency point, independent of their individual power levels. It is the wavelet analog of classical spectral coherence, revealing time-localized relationships across all frequencies.
