Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

After this course, students will have used data represented in spectral space and on non-uniform grids (Gaussian, ORCA). They will have learned to assess the homogeneity of climate time series. They will use variational methods to enforce the mass continuity equation as well as for enforcing balanced budgets over a region.
They assess uncertainties of climate model ensembles and they will use advanced time series analysis methods (Singular spectrum analysis)

Assessment and permitted materials

Ipython exercise sheets will be distributed. Students must return 80% of problems. They must explain their solutions before their colleagues for at least 2 problems.
Grading: 30% written solutions, 25% explanation, 45% oral exam at the end of semester

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Overall they must 50% of the maximum achievable points, summed over all three grading criteria

Examination topics

For the oral exam, the content of the distributed slides should be known by the students.
During the exam, they will also solve a simple problem with climate data in an ipython notebook to demonstrate their proficiency in data analysis.
A submitted solution of a problem in the exercises will be counted if at least one subproblem has been successfully solved.
In the oral presentation in the exercises they must demonstrate that they really have understood the solution and should be able to answer questions regarding the solution.
