Workshop on Stochastic Dynamical Systems & Climate Modeling
April 9, 2007
Researchers from the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratories will participate
in the "Workshop on Stochastic Dynamical Systems and Climate Modeling,"
April 15-20, 2007, at Banff International Research Station, Canada. Cecile
Penland will present a talk entitled "Adaptive Stochastic Modeling Using
Data Assimilation"; Prashant Sardeshmukh will present a talk entitled
"Reconciling Non-Gaussian Climate Statistics with Linear Theory"; and
Philip Sura will present a talk entitled "A Global View of Non-Gaussian SST
Variability."
Background/Significance:
The environment in which we live correlates directly to climate.
Understanding climate is of tremendous economic and social importance, and
mathematical models are a key component of understanding the climate
system. The objective of the workshop is to bring together climate
scientists and applied mathematicians in order to foster interactions and
inspire advancements in mathematical modeling. Participation in this
workshop supports NOAA's mission goal of understanding climate variability
and change to enhance society's ability to plan and respond, and NOAA's
cross-cutting priority of international cooperation and collaboration.
