NG34A:
Stochastic Modeling in Atmosphere, Ocean, and Climate Dynamics I

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 31557

Session Description:
Stochastic approaches are increasingly important in atmosphere, ocean, and climate science. Stochasticity can be applied across all levels of model complexity, from conceptual toy models to general circulation models and Earth-system models. In these approaches, critical but unresolved or poorly understood processes are modeled stochastically. Recent progress has been made in stochastic modeling of precipitation, clouds, gravity waves, ocean eddies, and land-ice and sea-ice processes, as well as in hydromechanics and sub-surface hydrology. However, applications of increasing complexity require new and sophisticated numerical and computational tools and data assimilation techniques. This session aims at bringing together the mathematical, statistical, and geophysical communities. It welcomes submissions related to stochastic processes in meteorology, oceanography, and climate science, including discussion of new modeling techniques, stochastic parameterization schemes, and data-driven stochastic modeling.
