Title: The Other World of Large Spatial Data Sets in the Geosciences

Address: P.O. Box 3000, Boulder, CO, 80307-3000,
Keywords: Spatial statistics
Abstract:

Many problems in analyzing the Earth's climate depend on large spatial data sets. These problems typically break standard and exact methods for spatial statistics and approximate approaches are needed. This talk will use a suite of regional climate simulations to illustrate some techniques for introducing sparsity into covariance models and the use of conditional simulation for inference.
