A
workshop on the use of J-DSP/ESE tools for sustainability applications
will be conducted in the room SCOB 101, at Arizona State University
from 2 PM - 5 PM on January 27, 2012. Participants are expected to
bring their laptops to the workshop for the hands-on exercises. Refreshments will be provided for all the participants. View the Photo Gallery.
Registration:
Registration
($95) for the workshop is required. Registration for ASU graduate
students may be sponsored by participant support. Please email sensip@asu.edu for more details.
Organizers:
| Prof. Linda Hinnov, Johns
Hopkins University |
| Prof. Andreas
Spanias, Arizona State University |
| Karthikeyan Ramamurthy, Arizona State

Description:
Analysis
of Earth system signals, important to the assessment of global climate
change, will be conducted with free online Java-DSP/ESE tools. An
introduction to signal processing is followed by a tutorial that
examines modern records of global temperature, atmospheric carbon
dioxide and sea level. The aim is to understand interactions between
CO2,
climate change and sea level. Several modern climate change datasets
will be analyzed and compared.
Workshop Outline:
1)
Learn basic signal processing with the online J-DSP/ESE
Laboratory
- Signal and noise
- Trend estimation
- Spectral analysis
- Filtering; differencing
- Correlation; coherency
2) Analyze
instrumental time series data of critical climate components/drivers
- Global
temperature records (GISS, NCDC, HadCrut, Berkeley)
- Atmospheric
carbon dioxide/fossil fuel emissions records
- Global
sea level records (tidal gauge v. satellite)
3) Address
fundamental questions such as
- What
are the variations (frequencies) in these records?
- Do
fossil fuel emissions explain the rise in pCO2?
- How
is pCO2
correlated
with global temperature?
- Does
global temperature correlate with sea level?
- Forecasting
temperature and sea level change for the next 10, 50, 100 years?
