The three-day course, given by Dr. Manfred Mudelsee, consists of lectures and computer tutorials. The course is in English and is designed for PhD students. The course is limited to 15 participants maximum allowing to give some individual feedback during the tutorials. The PhD students are very welcome to bring their own data for analysis. An own laptop is required as all course material is in electronic form (PDF, Windows executables, Fortran source codes), and printed copy of the Springer book 'Climate time series analysis' will be offered.
