Abstract

Stochasticity is a direct result of dynamics. As such, it cannot be arbitrarily applied to climate and weather models but must be done so in a way that preserves physical constraints. In this talk, I will discuss why there is nothing random about a random variable, why deterministic processes are also random, and dynamically consistent ways of treating multiscale systems stochastically.

Visitors

You must provide an accepted form of identification at the Visitor Center to obtain a vistor badge. Security personnel also inspect vehicles prior to entrance of the site. Please allow extra time for these procedures.

After receiving a badge, you must arrive at the DSRC Lobby at least 5 minutes before the seminar starts to meet your security escort. If you arrive after that time, you will not be allowed entry.

Foreign Nationals: Please email the seminar contact at least 48 hours prior to the seminar to provide additional information required for security purposes.
