6th GKSS School of Environmental Research
School on Statistical Analysis in Climate Research hold in Lecce, Italy, from 6-16 October 2009. School documents In 1993 a remarkable summer school took place on the Island of Elba, funded by the European union, and organized by Hans von Storch and Antonio Navarra - it resulted in the volume von Storch, H., and A. Navarra (Eds.), 1993: Analysis of Climate Variability: Applications of Statistical Techniques, Springer Verlag, (ISBN 3-540-66315-0), 342 pp, which is nowadays often referenced - and was printed in two (almost unchanged) editions.
The chairs Antonio Navarra and Hans von Storch have initiated the event, in the same spirit as in 1993 - namely of reviewing of state-of-the art statistical methods, without falling into the trap of fashionism and without the usage of cook-book like recipes. Some of the concepts dealt with in 1993 have again been on the agenda, but also some new ones have been presented, such as co-integration, long memory and networks, historical reconstructions, quality assurance of statistical models using extended climate simulations, Bayesian thinking in analysis and parameterization construction, attribution and detection - concepts some of which have been developed in econometrics and theoretical physics in the past years.
