Climate Time Series Analysis - Classical Statistical And Bootstrap Methods

by Manfred Mudelsee

237,84€ + 10% CARD

 Climate is a paradigm of a complex system. Analysing climate data is an exciting challenge, which is increased by non-normal distributional shape, serial dependence, uneven spacing and timescale uncertainties. This book presents bootstrap resampling as a computing-intensive method able to meet the challenge. It shows the bootstrap to perform reliably in the most important statistical estimation techniques: regression, spectral analysis, extreme values and correlation.This book is written for climatologists and applied statisticians. It explains step by step the bootstrap algorithms (including novel adaptions) and methods for confidence interval construction. It tests the accuracy of the algorithms by means of Monte Carlo experiments. It analyses a large array of climate time series, giving a detailed account on the data and the associated climatological questions..comprehensive mathematical and statistical summary of time-series analysis techniques geared towards climate applicationsaccessible to readers with knowledge of college-level calculus and statistics. (Computers and Geosciences)A key part of the book that separates it from other time series works is the explicit discussion of time uncertaintya very useful text for those wishing to understand how to analyse climate time series. (Journal of Time Series Analysis)outstanding. One of the best books on advanced practical time series analysis I have seen. (David J. Hand, Past-President Royal Statistical Society)

Aeronomy Of The Middle Atmosphere - Chemistry And Physics Of The Stratosphere And Mesosphere

by G. Brasseur e S. Solomon

131,84€ + 10% CARD

 The reader may be surprised to learn that the word "aeronomy" is not found in many of the standard dictionaries of the English language (for exam ple, Webster''s International dictionary). Yet the term would appear to exist, as evidenced by the affiliations of the two authors of this volume (Institut d'' Aeronomie Spatiale, Brussels, Belgium; Aeronomy Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Boulder, CO, USA). Perhaps part of this obscurity arises because aeronomy is a relatively new and evolving field of endeavor, with a history dating back no farther than about 1940. The Chambers dictionary of science and technology provides the following defini tion: "aeronomy (Meteor. ). The branch of science dealing with the atmo sphere of the Earth and the other planets with reference to their chemi cal composition, physical properties, relative motion, and reactions to radiation from outer space" This seems to us an appropriate description, and it is reflected throughout the content of this volume. The study of the aeronomy of the middle atmosphere experienced rapid growth and development during the 1970''s and 1980''s, particularly due to con cern over the possibility of anthropogenic perturbations to the state of the middle atmosphere and its protective ozone layer. As a result, much has been learned regarding both the natural behavior of the atmosphere and the impact of man''s activities upon it. In this book we shall attempt to describe the current state of the art as we see it.

High-Power Laser Radiation In Atmospheric Aerosols - Nonlinear Optics Of Aerodispersed Media

by A.A. Zemlyanov, A.V. Kuzikovskii, V.E. Zuev e Yu.D. Kopytin

171,59€ + 10% CARD

 Unique properties of laser radiation including its monochromatic properties, polarization, high spectral intensity, coherence, narrow beam divergence, the possibility of controlling the pulse duration and radiation spectrum and, finally, the fact that extremely high power and energy create very favorable conditions for the extensive application of lasers to communi cation systems, systems for the lidar sensing and ultra-high-precision ranging, navigation, remote monitoring of the environment, and many other systems operating in the atmosphere. The operative efficiency of the above systems depends significantly on the state of the atmosphere and the corresponding behavior of laser radia tion propagating through it. This circumstance has stimulated the studies of the above regularities during the passt 10-15 years. For the investiga tions to be carried out the scientists were forced to develop new theories and methods for studying the problem experimentally. Moreover, during such investigations some previously unknown phenomena were observed, among them the nonlinear effects accompanying high-power laser radiation propagating through the atmosphere are of paramount importance. Among the nonlinear effects caused by high-power laser radiation inter action with the atmosphere, the effects accompanying the propagation of high-power radiation through the atmospheric aerosols are of particular interest. Aerosols always occur in the atmosphere. It should be noted that the microphysical and optical characteristics of atmospheric aerosols vary widely, this fact causes a great variety in the features of their inter action with radiation.
