Description:
The "International Meetings on Statistical Climatology" have been organized by a group of independent climatologists and statisticians since
1979. The 8th of these meetings will be held in March, 2001 in Lüneburg in Germany.
The purpose of the meetings is to bring together climatologists and statisticians, to exchange concepts and problems. Climatologists present statistical problems in climatology (including meteorology and related fields) and consider the methods that are currently used to deal with these problems. Also, techniques tailored by climatologists for the specific needs of climatology are presented. Statisticians, on the other hand, present new, state-of-the art techniques developed within mathematical statistics and other scientific fields. By discussing the needs of climatology and the possibilities offered by modern statistics, synergetic effects are obtained, advancing the methodical basis of climatology and helping statistics to focus on relevant problems.
The present meeting is organized into five sessions, each dealing with a challenge that climatology is presently facing: Stochastic climate models, Extreme value analysis, Statistics, models and data assimilation, Simulation models, Decision making. Contributions unrelated to these chosen topics are welcome as well.
