Annual report for A statistics program

The mission of the Geophysical Statistics Project (GSP) is to encourage the application of statistical analysis and the development of new statistical methods in the geophysical sciences. To fulfill this goal, GSP must also be engaged in basic statistical research including mathematical statistics and probability theory. During this period as part of the NCAR reorganization, GSP administration was transfered from the the Climate and Global Dynamics (CGD) Division to the Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences (IMAGe). This new home for GSP facilitates its perspective as an NCAR-wide effort and the research projects outlined below reflect a breadth of scientific collaboration across the center’s divisions. 1
