This volume has grown from an Autumn School about "Analysis of
Climat Variability - Applications of Statistical techniques" on
Elba in November 1993. We have included those lectures which
referred explicitly to appli cations of statistical techniques in
climate science, since we felt that general descriptions of
statistical methods, both at the introductory and at advanced
level, are already available. We tried to stress the application
side, discussing many examples dealing with the analysis of
observed data and with the eval uation of model results (Parts I
and II). Some effort is also devoted to the treatment of various
techniques of pattern analysis (Part III). Methods like
teleconnections, EOF, SSA, CCA and POP are becoming routine tools
for the climate researcher and it is probably important for
graduate students to be exposed to them early in their academic
career in a hopefully clear and concise way. A short subject index
is included at the end of the volume to assist the reader in the
search of selected topics. Rather than attempting to reference
every possible occurrence of some topic we have preferred to
indicate the page where that topic is more extensively discussed.
The Autumn School was part of the training and education activities
of the European Programme on Climatology and Natural Hazards
(EPOCH), and is continued under the subsequent research programme
(ENVIRONMENT 1990-1994). It aimed at students in general, taking
first and second year courses at the graduate level."
