One regular criticism that is made of climatologists is that their statistical analyses tend not to make use of up-to-date methods, particularly as regards time series analysis. This course in Germany therefore looks to be useful:
Advanced Course in Climate Time Series Analysis, Hannover, Germany, 20 to 24 January 2014
I'm not sure how advanced though:
- Level: academic (PhD students and postdocs), industry (researchers and analysts)
- Audience: Climatologists, Geographers, Geologists, Hydrologists, Meteorologists, Physicists, Risk analysts, Statisticians
- Basic knowledge in statistics is required (e.g., you should know what "standard deviation" means).
