Abstract: Karhunen-Loeve decomposition has been used in order to compute the number of the fundamental degrees of freedom in a complex spatiotemporal dynamics. The method has been applied on experimental and numerical data. In both cases the number of degrees of freedom found by this method is very close to the fractal dimension of the attractor or the Lyapunov dimension.
