pre-whitening

No mention of autocorrelation or pre-whitening which would address this.

This modified residual series, which results from application of this trend-free pre-whitening procedure, should be an independent series.

Curry's Comments on Klotzbach « Climate Audit 2006

There will nearly always be lags in the data and, while identifying lags between two series can be done after pre-whitening, with multiple series this is very difficult.

The second one, as some of you have explained already, is that he used first differences of the original time series, thus actually pre-whitening the series.

This is why Econometricians frequently use pre-whitening in Transfer Function causal modeling.

Is the pre-whitening method Storch introduces p. 17 used widely in climatic trend analyses?

Furthermore, it was shown that removal of a positive serial correlation component from time series by pre-whitening resulted in a reduction in the magnitude of the existing trend; and the removal of a trend component from a time series as a first step prior to pre-whitening eliminates the influence of the trend on the serial correlation and does not seriously affect the estimate of the true AR1.

If the series are autocorrelated than you can use pre-whitening to remove the red. bender

These results indicate that the commonly used pre-whitening procedure for eliminating the effect of serial correlation on the MK test leads to potentially inaccurate assessments of the significance of a trend; and certain procedures will be more appropriate for eliminating the impact of serial correlation on the MK test.

(1/1000 Hz) and no pre-whitening to ensure linear drift removal while minimizing interference with low frequency brain activity fluctuations.
