| Info: | 2nd - 7th May 2010 Session CL4.4: Climate time series analysis: novel tools and applications to centennial-to-millennial scale variations http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/1876 Convener: Manfred Mudelsee, Climate Risk Analysis, Germany and AWI, Bremerhaven, Germany mudelsee@mudelsee.com Co-convener 1: Michael Schulz, MARUM, Univ. Bremen, Germany, mschulz@marum.de Co-convener 2: Martin H. Trauth, Univ. Potsdam, Germany, martin.trauth@geo.uni-potsdam.de You are cordially invited to submit an abstract for our session on Climate Time Series Analysis. This year we have a focus on applications to centennial-to-millennial scale variations during the Holocene. Please find further information below. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions. This session focuses on the link between statistical time-series analysis and climatology, including paleoclimatology. Analysis of climatic time series has to deal with measurement errors, spatial representation, proxy quality, dating uncertainties, as well as deterministic noise generated within the climate system. The challenge is to improve and develop methods and obtain results that are robust and reliable also in the presence of (1) nonstationarities, (2) non-normal distributions, (3) autocorrelation, (4) uneven time spacing, (5) uncertain timescales. We welcome novel contributions that address those difficulties and show a sound statistical basis of the methodology. A particular challenge arises in the context of analysing climate variations at centennial-to-millennial timescales in relatively short records. Therefore, we are inviting contributions in which novel tools or methods are used to analyse such low-frequency variations in Holocene climate records. Confirmed contribution: Peter Huybers, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Harvard University, USA The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is 18 January 2010.
