Neural Networks and Statistical Methods for Climate Studies



Advanced statistical techniques can be used for a variety of applications in Meteorology and Climatology. Linear or nonlinear regression can be used for the approximation of direct or inverse radiative transfer models for remote sensing purposes. Classification algorithms are usefull to define prototypes of airmass, types of surface, describe indices of vegetation, desert, ice or wetland. Component extractions techniques help in analyzing huge datasets of observations or model outputs, they can also improve our understanding of the processes involved in the atmosphere or the ocean.
