where ''S'' is a diagonal ''N&times;M'' matrix and ''S<sub>kk</sub>'' = &lambda;<sub>k</sub>, the columns of ''U'' (''N&times;N'') are the chronos and the columns of ''V'' (''M&times;M'') are the topos.
where ''S'' is a diagonal ''N&times;M'' matrix and ''S<sub>kk</sub>'' = &lambda;<sub>k</sub>, the first min(''N,M'') columns of ''U'' (''N&times;N'') are the chronos and the first min(''N,M'') columns of ''V'' (''M&times;M'') are the topos.


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.
