Methodology drawn from the fields of probability. statistics and
decision making plays an increasingly important role in the
atmosphericsciences. both in basic and applied research and in
experimental and operational studies. Applications of such
methodology can be found in almost every facet of the discipline.
from the most theoretical and global (e.g., atmospheric
predictability. global climate modeling) to the most practical and
local (e.g., crop-weather modeling forecast evaluation). Almost
every issue of the multitude of journals published by the
atmospheric sciences community now contain some or more papers
involving applications of concepts and/or methodology from the
fields of probability and statistics. Despite the increasingly
pervasive nature of such applications. very few book length
treatments of probabilistic and statistical topics of particular
interest to atmospheric scientists have appeared (especially
inEnglish) since the publication of the pioneering works of Brooks
andCarruthers (Handbook of Statistical Methods in Meteorology) in
1953 and Panofsky and Brier-(some Applications of)statistics to
Meteor) in 1958. As a result. many relatively recent developments
in probability and statistics are not well known to atmospheric
scientists and recent work in active areas of meteorological
research involving significant applications of probabilistic and
statistical methods are not familiar to the meteorological
community as a whole.
Teleconnections is a central concept in the scientific search for
an improved understanding of potential linkages between weather and
climate anomalies that occur over relatively large distances. The
editors of this volume have brought together contributions from
experts in the field, which together provide a comprehensive review
of this important subject. This book will be of importance to all
professional scientists and researchers in climatology and
meteorology, particularly those concerned with air-sea interactions
and their environmental impacts and the physical basis for and
societal responses to forecasting. Graduate students in
environmental science, meteorology and climate-related impact
assessments will also find the book useful.

Weather and climate extremes can significantly impact the economics
of a region. This book examines how weather and climate forecasts
can be used to mitigate the impact of the weather on the economy.
Interdisciplinary in scope, it explores the meteorological,
economic, psychological, and statistical aspects of weather
prediction. Chapters by area specialists provide a comprehensive
view of this timely topic. They encompass forecasts over a wide
range of temporal scales, from weather over the next few hours to
the climate months or seasons ahead, and address the impact of
these forecasts on human behavior. Economic Value of Weather and
Climate Forecasts seeks to determine the economic benefits of
existing weather forecasting systems and the incremental benefits
of improving these systems, and will be an interesting and
essential text for economists, statisticians, and meteorologists.
