"Quantifying and Modeling Climate Time Series: An Empirical Approach" provides readers with analytical skills based on useful stochastic processes and two functions that quantify the temporal variability of time series. It shows and explains how daily series for basic climate variable, total solar irradiance (TSI) at the top of the atmosphere and air temperature at various spatial averaging level have been quantified. Also made clear is the crucial difference between the series short and long range variability. Focusing on long range variability enables geoscientists to fit a nonstationary integrated moving-average model to represent the daily TSI and air temperature series. A principal virtue of the model is its divisibility into a sum of white noise and random walk. Further, this empirical approach makes possible estimation of the relative importance of stationarity in the model and approximation of the variability range in long temperature series.
Olavi Karner studied mathematics at the University of Tartu, Estonia before receiving his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Physics from the Leningrad Hydrometeorological Institute in 1974. In 1966, Dr. Karner joined the Tartu Observatory in Toravere, Estonia, and since 1977 he has held the position of Research Associate, Atmospheric Sensing Group. His scientific interests include time series analysis for climate studies and the development of satellite cloud classification methods for radiation budget calculations. In 1993, Dr. Karner and coauthor Dr. Sirje Keevallik published "Effective Cloud Cover Variations".
