Subject: Call for Abstracts, EGU General Assembly, Vienna, Austria, 22 to 27 April 2012 Session CL5.4/NP4.5: *Climate Time Series Analysis* Deadline for abstract submission: 17 January 2012 Dear Colleague, You are cordially invited to submit an abstract! Although the range of "climate time series analysis" is certainly wide, the methodical focus of our session is sharp: "statistical". Hard tests, error bars, feasibility, relevance for the practitioner---no geophantasy. Further information below.

To have any success chances, the analysis of climate time series has to take into account the uncertainties in the climate system itself and in the measurements, and often also in the proxy quality and the dating. Climate records impose additional difficulties in form of: (1) non-normal distributions, (2) autocorrelation, (3) uneven time spacing, (4) uncertain timescales. We welcome contributions that address those difficulties, show a sound statistical basis of the methodology and also demonstrate the feasibility of the method in real-world applications. Methods may include, but are not restricted to: (1) regression, (2) spectral analysis and wavelets, (3) extreme values, (4) correlation, (5) nonlinear dynamical system analysis, (6) spatio-temporal analysis. Technical details ================= Deadline for abstract submission is 17 January 2012. Deadline for Support Applications is 15 December 2011.
