Def.: Time Series. Time series is a collection or sequence of numbers that represent the state of any system as a function of time or space or any other “ ordering ” independent variable. Scalar Time Series Data. e.g., Sealevel Pressure. (almost periodic). e.g., Bottom Temperature.

Scalar Time Series Data e.g., Sealevel Pressure (almost periodic) e.g., Bottom Temperature (transient)
Vector Time Series Data Ocean Currents Speed (length of “stick”) and direction (orientation of “stick”) as a function of time
