On the use of our factor separation methodology- lessons from recent 20 years for weather & climate
Tuesday, 24 February 2015, 16:30-17:30
Since our pioneering publication of the Factor Separation Methodology
(Stein and Alpert, 1993), many different applications were applied as
summarized by Alpert and Sholokhman (2011). Here, I wish to present several applications for climate and weather studies with focus on the central role
of synergies or interactions among different factors as revealed by this
methodology. Evidence for the importance of climate synergies from the
leaf cell up to global scale will be presented (Alpert et al. 2006).
In addition, similarities with other disciplines like medicine in which synergies
play a major role. For instance, interactions among different medications
and how they are being treated in medicine.
