For A Lecture on Scientific Meteorology within Statistical (”Pure”) Physics Concepts
نویسنده
چکیده
Various aspects of modern statistical physics and meteorology can be tied together. Critical comments have to be made. However, the historical importance of the University of Wroclaw in the field of meteorology should be first pointed out. Next, some basic difference about time and space scales between meteorology and climatology can be outlined. The nature and role of clouds both from a geometric and thermal point of view are recalled. Recent studies of scaling laws for atmospheric variables are mentioned, like studies on cirrus ice content, brightness temperature, liquid water path fluctuations, cloud base height fluctuations, .... Technical time series analysis approaches based on modern statistical physics considerations are outlined.

متن کاملThe effectiveness of Guided Discovery Learning on the learning and satisfaction of nursing students
Introduction: Revision of the traditional teaching methods as well as employment of modern and active learning method through educational systems is tangible. Application of such methods are quite common in different scientific areas. Therefore, performing modern educational approaches such as self-directed and long-life learning such as Guided Discovery Learning (GDL) is a step toward the stud...
متن کاملInformation-theoretical analysis of the statistical dependencies among three variables: Applications to written language
We develop the information-theoretical concepts required to study the statistical dependencies among three variables. Some of such dependencies are pure triple interactions, in the sense that they cannot be explained in terms of a combination of pairwise correlations. We derive bounds for triple dependencies, and characterize the shape of the joint probability distribution of three binary varia...
متن کاملFour lectures on computational statistical physics
1 Lectures given at the 2008 Les Houches Summer School " Exact methods in low-dimensional physics and quantum computing ". Preface In my lectures at the Les Houches Summer School 2008, I discussed central concepts of computational statistical physics, which I felt would be accessible to the very cross-cultural audience at the school. I started with a discussion of sampling, which lies at the he...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Recurrent Neural Networks II. Dynamics
A lecture notes style review of the non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of recurrent neural networks with discrete and continuous neurons (e.g. Ising, graded-response, coupled-oscillators). To be published in the Handbook of Biological Physics (North-Holland). Accompanied by a similar review (part I) dealing with the statics.
