  Information - NP3.05 Uncertainty, Random Dynamical Systems and Stochastic Modeling in Geophysics

Event Information
It has long been clear that nonlinearity is at the core of
geophysics, as well as the growth of uncertainty trough scales.
Therefore, there is a growing recognition of a role for the inclusion
of uncertainty in the modeling of complex, multi-scale and random
phenomena in Geophysics.

On the one hand, broad generalizations of the deterministic dynamical
approach to stochastic dynamical systems are indispensable for
analyzing and simulating geophysical systems. Indeed, other
geophysical components and/or scales generally yield non-vanishing
noisy perturbations, which are furthermore often colored. For
instance, it has been often argued
that for climate studies a red noise should be
introduced to take into account the weather scales.

On the other hand, various types of stochastic modelling have been
developed based on the statistical symmetries of the generating
equations, in particular the scale symmetry (e.g. multifractals).

This session will be devoted to the latest theoretical developments and
applications of stochastic approaches in Geophysics, as well as their
confrontation in order to help the necessary blending between dynamics
and stochastics to achieve a better understanding and modeling of
nonlinear phenomena in Geophysics.'
