+##**Notes**
+The scaler class is used to performed scaled POD. Scaling is applied to tensors of shape $\mathbb{R}^{ N_{\\mathrm{vars}} \\times N_{\\mathrm{x}} \\times N_s}$. These tensors are then reshaped into matrices when performing SVD.

 *What is scaled POD, and why would I do it?*
 
 Standard POD computes a basis that minimizes the projection error in a standard Euclidean $\\ell^2$ inner product,
-i.e., for a snapshot matrix $\\mathbf{S}$, POD computes the basis by solving the minimization problem
