Spanish term or phrase: área bajo el espectro
This is part of a long text by the government agency, Puertos de Estado, in Spain. It describes climate agents that can affect ports and breakwaters. Here is the context:

Si u´(z, t) es un proceso aleatorio gaussiano de media cero, las amplitudes siguen una distribución de Rayleigh cuyo descriptor estadístico está relacionado con el** área bajo el espectro** frecuencial de la serie temporal.

under the frequency spectrum
Explanation:
You shouldn't split 'espctro' from 'frecuencial' - it's a single term.

el** área bajo el espectro** frecuencial de la serie temporal
-->
rea under the frequency spectrum corresponding to the time series

It refers to time-frequency transforms - maybe Fourier, maybe some other genuis.

Oops - still haven't got used to this new keyboard:
'espectro', 'area' and 'genius', of course (the latter is what's most lacking here today, methinks...)

Yes, you are right. I should not have split the term. I have to admit that I was more interested in the preposition. Thank you.

neutral  Jennifer Levey: A 'spectral frequency' is a single frequency within a spectrum (like a singloe colour in the rainbow), and as such cannot have an area underneath it since that 'area' would have zero width.
