Climate Fluctuations and Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue
International Seminar and Workshop
10 July - 4 August 2017
Workshop week: 17 - 21 July
Fluctuations have long been a focus of statistical mechanics, while climate and weather fluctuations are an essential part of the climate system. This seminar brings together researchers from the statistical mechanics and climate science communities to explore connections between the two fields and develop new multidisciplinary research directions.
Topics include
- Fluctuations
- Nonequilibrium steady states
- Probability currents
- Stochastic models
- Entropy production
- Natural and forced climate variability
- Extreme events
- Stochastic parameterization
- Climate oscillations (El-Niño, Madden-Julien Oscillation, etc.)
- Ensemble simulations
- Statistical closures
