Statistical Analysis in Climate Research by Hans von Storch (PDF)

Description

The purpose of this book is to help the climatologist understand the basic precepts of the statistician’s art and to provide some of the background needed to apply statistical methodology correctly and usefully. The book is self contained: introductory material, standard advanced techniques, and the specialized techniques used specifically by climatologists are all contained within this one source. There are a wealth of real-world examples drawn from the climate literature to demonstrate the need, power and pitfalls of statistical analysis in climate research.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Great book with detailed analysis including examples, equations, etc. It is a constant on my desk as a research scientist focusing on time-series analysis of sparse, scattered, global ocean data!

⭐I am a phd-student in spacephysics. “Statistical analysis in Climate Research” is the statistics book which has been most relevant for me that I have read until this time. The information density is very high in this book. It is necessary with some prior knowledge about statistics to read this book. It does not contain any proofs, but many references to other books. The most important thing about this book for me is that it provides solutions to many of the problems one encounter when analyzing data in geophysics. Especially good is it that it discuss situations where the “ideal” assumptions used in normal statistics books are not fulfilled.

⭐Comprehensive, however this is just printed on normal A4 paper. You can find a PDF and print it yourself. Moreover, it’s cheaper from the publisher.

⭐THE BOOK on statistical applications in climate science, comprehensive and thorough. it is somewhat mathematical in its treatment but if you are up for that its perfect – I do know the authors so I may not be unbiased but my group likes it too, they keep borrowing it 🙂
