The &lambda;<sub>k</sub> are the eigenvalues (sorted in decreasing order), where ''k=1,...,min(N,M)''.
The &lambda;<sub>k</sub> are the eigenvalues (sorted in decreasing order), where ''k=1,...,min(N,M)'', and directly represent the square root of the fluctuation energy contained in the corresponding mode.
This decomposition is achieved using a standard [[:Wikipedia:Singular value decomposition|Singular value decomposition]] of the data matrix ''Y(i,j)''.

Thus, the oscillations of the spatiotemporal fluctuating field are represented by means of a very small number of spatio-temporal modes that are constructed from the data themselves, without prejudice regarding the mode shape.
