IMA Conference on Mathematics of the Climate System
Date: Tuesday 13 - Thursday 15 September 2011 Location: University of Reading
This conference will be about the construction and use of mathematical and computational models of the climate system, from the conceptual to the comprehensive. The conceptual models aid our understanding of how certain climate processes interact, and enable us to assess, interpret and diagnose the comprehensive models. Also, the conceptual models provide readily understandable paradigms for dynamical climate-system behaviour, which may be tested in the comprehensive models.
The conference will focus on four related topics:
- Extraction of deterministic and stochastic models from measurements and simulations of the climate system;
- Reduced complexity models and their dynamics;
- Confronting scientific hypotheses about the climate system with data;
- Mathematically-based diagnostic studies of climate dynamics and statistics based on comprehensive models and reanalyses.
