Bayesian analysis and modeling, in which uncertainties are quantified in terms of probability, offers an alternative approach to understanding in meteorological applications. The underlying principle, practiced in fields like archaeology and geology, is the accumulation of evidence. The approach provides a mathematical rule to update existing beliefs in light of new evidence. It requires the da...
